Mobile CarolinaCard launches
University of South Carolina students, faculty and staff will be able to use their smartphones or compatible smartwatches as their official CarolinaCard.
There is no shortage of news coming out of the University of South Carolina, and our University Communications team is here to assist media in telling those stories.
We have a curated list of press releases dating back to 2015 related to specific events, initiatives, major milestones at USC, news from one of our many colleges or schools and much more. University Communications also developed a list of criteria and guidelines to start the conversation around when the office will create an institutional-level press release and distribute it to local, regional or national media.
