Homecoming
We usually host an event for CIC alumni on the Friday evening of Homecoming.
MLIS Alumni Happy Hours
Each year we host two happy hour events for alumni of the Master of Library & Information Science Program as part of the annual library conferences held in Columbia.
The Baldwin Business and Financial Journalism Lecture Series
This is an annual lecture series that started in 2015 and brings accomplished business and financial journalists to share their expertise. The lectures are funded by the Baldwin Business and Financial Journalism Endowment, given by the late Kenneth W. Baldwin Jr.
A 1949 graduate of the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, Baldwin funded the endowment in 2009 to equip students with a depth of knowledge to investigate and report on the most significant and complex business and financial topics that affect consumers and taxpayers.
The Buchheit Family Lecture Series
This is an annual lecture series that was created in 2000 in honor of the late Phil Buchheit, who was the former president and chairman of Mid-South Management Company and the former publisher of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. The lectures are funded by the Buchheit Family Endowment, which provides undergraduate scholarships and graduate and doctoral fellowships to students of the university’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
