"USCA has many different students from many different backgrounds, but one thing that ties us all together is the campus atmosphere.

Within my first couple of days at USCA, I had more friends than I have ever had before."

- John Ellis, Communications major

TJ Langford
"During the course of my freshman and sophomore years, I was a resident in the Pacer Downs. When I first met my roommate my freshman year, we became the best of friends from the get-go.

The atmosphere is great for learning."

Morehouse Elected to S.C. Humanities Council Board

November 6, 2008 4:11 PM

Dr. Maggi M. Morehouse, professor of history at the University of South Carolina Aiken, was recently elected to the South Carolina Humanities Council Board of Directors.

Morehouse was elected to a three-year term to the Council’s Board of Directors at a September meeting in Columbia and began her term on November 1.

Morehouse joined the faculty at USC Aiken in the fall of 2003. After receiving her doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley in African American Studies in 2001, Morehouse taught at several California universities including UC Berkeley as well as at Hamilton College in New York prior to coming to Aiken. In addition to research and teaching in African American Studies, U.S. History and Women’s History, Morehouse has been very actively involved in the community. She is a board member of the Historic Aiken Foundation, Pine Lawn Cemetery, and on the Steering Committee for the Center for African American History, Art, and Culture. Morehouse directed the University’s Honors Program from 2005-2007. For her voluntary activities in the local community, she won the USC Aiken Community Service Award for 2007-2008.

“I’ll be working to bring more focus to this region’s wonderful humanities resources,” Morehouse said. “And I’ll be learning and contributing to the culture of our state.”

The S.C. Humanities Council is in its 35th year as the state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Governed by 22 volunteer public and academic members, the Council awards nearly $250,000 annually in grants for statewide public programs and sponsors two annual initiatives—the South Carolina Humanities Festival and the South Carolina Book Festival held in Columbia. Board members initiate and develop projects, seek to make the humanities accessible statewide, and take active roles in Council fundraising.

“This is an exciting opportunity for me to make a difference, and I am thrilled about this assignment,” Morehouse said.
