USC Duke TIP

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR DUKE TIP SCHOLAR WEEKENDS

The University of South Carolina invites you to attend Duke TIP Scholar Weekends on our beautiful flagship campus in Columbia!  As a  scholar, you can take short, intriguing courses in academic topics that might not be available in your local schools. These courses are designed and the faculty is provided by the South Carolina Honors College. The classes are shortened versions of courses taught at the Honors College. SCHC leads learning and drives discovery and is committed to individualizing the experience of a comprehensive research university for each of its students. You’ll get an exciting glimpse into the collegiate experience and have opportunities to interact with similarly motivated students. We’re the only S.C. school that was selected to host this prestigious event.

The Outreach Team at the SC Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities is pleased to be visiting Mid-Carolina Middle School this Friday, September 23 at 9:00 am! We will be discussing the application and audition process for two of our summer programs for middle school students: Summer Dance (rising seventh, eighth, and ninth graders) and the Discovery Program (rising ninth graders). These programs, held on our 9 acre campus in downtown Greenville, offer your child an opportunity to explore their chosen art area (creative writing, dance, drama, music, or visual arts) and experience being away from home in a structured and supportive environment. We would like for you to join your student on Friday morning at 9am to have refreshments and answer any questions that you may have. Hope to see you there!
