MS. DIAN A. ALSTON
The year 2020 will certainly go down in history as one of the most challenging years
we’ve seen in recent history. The onset of a global pandemic, the coronavirus, gripped
our nation and our world, and forced us to rethink how we would deliver the most
basic of necessities to our populations. Businesses were shut down, countless people
lost jobs, and our healthcare systems were overtaxed. Educational entities across the
country shifted to virtual learning methods. From pre-K to higher education, teachers
and students reimagined the parameters of teaching and learning; for some, it was
an easy transition, but for others, challenges remain. Through it all, we have remained
“Bulldog Strong!”
I would like to thank you, our donors for continuing to follow through on your commitments
to financially support SC State University, despite a pandemic. This Honor Roll of Donors
is our way of recognizing you for your many generous financial and in-kind gifts, and
highlighting the success stories created by your contributions. We are so very proud of
our students who have excelled in so many different arenas, and we elevate our alumni 1
who continue to make an indelible mark on the legacy of SC State University through
their numerous accomplishments around the world.
I would be remiss, if I didn’t also thank our community partners, businesses, and
corporations with whom we’ve fostered strong, meaningful and sustainable relationships
that will positively impact our students; transforming their lives for years following their
matriculation and graduation. I look forward to our continued collaborations.
We are one SC State. Whether you are a member of the board, a student, an administrator,
a parent, faculty, staff, or supporter, you are important to us. You play an integral part in
the success of our institution. Thank you for all you do, and for all you give. Let’s make
2021 a healthy and memorable one.
With Bulldog Tenacity,
James E. Clark
