Dear Carolina Faculty:

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome each of you to the University of South Carolina! Shelly and I look forward to getting to know you.

South Carolina is a university on the move. We encourage our more than 34,000 students to pursue high goals while aiming for academic excellence and meaningful community engagement.

Our faculty members continue to lead our university on a path of growing momentum and impressive gains. We have made remarkable progress, and with your addition I am confident we will achieve even more.

After all, it’s the people who make our university a meaningful place. That is why we are dedicated to building an inclusive and inspiring community for our students, faculty and staff. At South Carolina, we believe in the power of higher education, understanding that knowledge, inquiry and creative expression are what transform our state, nation and world.

As you settle in to your new home here, I urge each of you to seek out the diverse opportunities of this beautiful campus. I hope you will find our university to be a place of discovery and inspiration, and I look forward to seeing your impact within our community and on our students.

Welcome home,

Bob Caslen
