Honor Someone Special with New USCB Tributes
In 2024 the University of South Carolina Beaufort will celebrate its 20th year of conferring bachelor’s degrees. In advance of this celebration, the university is launching exciting ways to honor an alum, remember a loved one, or celebrate someone special.
The new Alumni Plaza on the Bluffton Campus will be inlaid with commemorative bricks. There are also unique naming opportunities for rocking chairs and benches that will let the university community create a permanent remembrance for family members, friends and professional mentors.
On the Bluffton campus quad between the Hargray Building and library, the Alumni Plaza is a location where people gather to talk, work and relax. Students, their parents, alumni, faculty and staff can purchase tribute bricks for this plaza or an inscription plaque to be affixed to a rocking chair and bench nearby. Tribute benches and rockers also can be placed elsewhere around the Bluffton campus.
Money raised by the sale of these tributes goes to USCB’s annual fund, which is used to improve the campus living and learning environments in Bluffton, Beaufort and Hilton Head Island. Through your support, you empower USCB to respond to issues and seize opportunities to serve students, faculty and staff.
