These schools include Anderson University, Charleston Southern University, College of Charleston, Columbia College, Francis Marion University, Lander University, Newberry College, USC-Columbia, USC-Upstate, and Winthrop University. Participants engage in a variety of professional development opportunities and are involved with local communities and businesses in their area.
