Up is Where People Meet Passion...and Bring It Home.
 Sean Turner, ‘22“When you think of a college professor, the word ‘friend’ doesn’t usually come to mind. However, in three years at USC Upstate, I developed relationships with the faculty and staff of the Criminal Justice department that I will forever be thankful for. It is easy for a teacher to provide content, assign work, and grade papers. When that person goes beyond the job description and shows passion for learning and invests in the success of their students, it is life changing.” |
