"I hope you share my pride in the work we have done together over the past year. And I hope what you have heard this morning will energize you for the road ahead." -President Michael Amiridis Watch the 2025 State of the University address: https://youtu.be/J8ooZeZErZc

It is clear that the University of South Carolina is a great investment for the state of South Carolina.

Planning is underway to create South Carolina’s first stand-alone, comprehensive medical facility dedicated to caring for patients with brain and nervous system illnesses.

We take seriously our commitment as South Carolina's flagship university and with the help of the General Assembly, a USC degree remains within reach.

Join us today at 10 a.m. in the Russell House Ballroom as President Michael Amiridis delivers the 2025 State of the University address. Not on campus today? Stream the event at facebook.com/uofsc
