COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — Students from 30 different colleges and universities across South Carolina were recognized at the Statehouse Tuesday afternoon for the 3rd Annual Higher Education Day.
The event honors students currently working on their degrees while also encouraging young high schoolers to see attending a college, university, or technical college as a viable path.
In an interview with ABC Columbia News, Benedict College Sophomore Kenly Rouse shared some advice to high school students who are in the process of selecting a college.
“Take your time, weigh out all of your options. The sky is the limit. Don’t rush it. Just breathe, be patient and put God first in everything you do,” Rouse says.
Speakers also encouraged students to remain in South Carolina after graduation and help strengthen our state. Around 238,000 students attend 75 higher education institutions across South Carolina.
