Entering medical school is a highly competitive process, and fewer than half who apply are admitted. Fewer still are able to finish.����

For those wanting to pursue a career in medicine, the cost and the rigor of medical school can be daunting. That’s why ��ҹ�糡 and AnMed, along with sponsorship from South Carolina Upstate AHEC (South Carolina Area Health Education Centers), established a partnership in 2022 which created an intensive two-week camp offering resources and advice to South Carolina undergraduate students to become better prepared to enter medical school.����

Earlier this year, the was awarded a $50,000 grant from , the philanthropy of Corporation, to support the Upstate Pre-Med Bootcamp—for the second year in a row.

The additional grant funds enabled the participants to receive stipends and assistance with the expenses associated with taking the MCAT. It also enabled the camp��to provide lunches for its participants, camp alumni volunteers, and the physicians who volunteered their time to serve on panel discussions. One of the camp organizers, Dr. Carrie Koenigstein of the ��ҹ�糡 College of Arts and Sciences, is grateful for this grant, commenting that financial constraints can prevent students from participating in opportunities like the Upstate Pre-Med Boot Camp. She commented that, even though the camp is offered to them for��free, students still lose time from their summer jobs and have to provide their own transportation and any food not covered by the camp activities.��

This year’s camp, now in its fifth year, benefited 24 college upper classmen from across South Carolina. The group represents a multiethnic population of individuals from urban and rural areas.�� ��

In its four-year existence, the��Upstate Pre-Med Boot Camp��has opened the door of medical school for many students, helping them to stand out as candidates while instilling in them much-needed confidence.��

“This camp has been eye opening, inspiring, and has fueled my fire for my career,” said Ashka Raval, a Clemson University student. “I was feeling very down about myself after the past semester, but being able to see what I fell into love with medicine for made me fall in love with it again.”��

The Upstate Pre-Med Boot Camp, which took place in May on the ��ҹ�糡 campus, offered students hands-on experiences not often encountered outside of medical school—at no cost to them.����

“Pre-Med Boot Camp was an amazing opportunity that made the dream of becoming a physician more real and attainable,” said ��ҹ�糡 student Zoe Calloway. “Keeping the camp free and accessible has greatly helped me and my peers get a taste of medicine and has deeply grown my passion for the field.”��

At this year’s camp, students shadowed AnMed medical professionals in multiple specialties, learning the day-to-day of a medical practice while working alongside other medical school-bound students.������

“This program connected me with some amazing people that I never would have met otherwise,” said Adrienne Williams from USC Beaufort. Tommy O’Quinn of Erskine College concurs, commenting, “This camp has given me both applicable skills in a medical setting and extremely valuable information about med school applications and what the next years of my life will look like as I go down the path of becoming a physician.”����

The��Upstate Pre-Med Boot Camp��gives students a realistic glimpse into the day-to-day life of a physician while offering valuable interaction all the way. Also valuable are skill-based workshops that cover suturing, reading EKGs, intubation, catheterization, joint injection, and working in the cadaver lab on the ��ҹ�糡 campus (cadaver labs are rarely encountered anywhere outside medical school).����

The camp gave Kadine Beckford of Benedict College her first hands-on medical experiences.����

“I have never shadowed, sutured, intubated or been in a cadaver lab,” Beckford said. “The camp helped me to be better prepared for and more sure of my passion and determination to pursue my dream.”��

��ҹ�糡 student Stella Miller said, “Doing the SIM lab was extremely helpful because it gave me a sense of actually being a physician interacting with a patient instead of just observing when shadowing.”��

There were also discussion panels with physicians, current med school students, and representatives from the admissions committees from the four South Carolina medical schools.������

“This camp not only helped me learn how important a physician’s life is but also helped me prep and be ready for the future,” said Khushi Jain of the University of South Carolina, whose older sister, Rashi Jain, attended the 2025 camp and came back this year helping with the camp as a volunteer.��

Logan Bamonte, who attended the 2025 camp, also returned this year to work as a camp intern. She feels the Upstate Pre-Med Bootcamp was a game changer and is happy to help other medical school-bound students.��

“This camp gave me the opportunity to connect with other pre-med students across the state and form lasting, supportive relationships. It also gave me the confidence to continue pursuing medicine when I was still considering switching paths,” Bamonte said. “I think this program is so impactful, so I was thankful to get the opportunity to return to the camp as an intern and play a role in creating a supportive environment for more students.”��

��ҹ�糡 student Emily Priest said, “I came into the experience with a fire for healthcare, but the experiences and connections have shaped my motivation into a clear direction so I can pursue my goals with confidence and the necessary tools to be successful. I would make the decision to participate again in a heartbeat and hope that many more people can share in this unique adventure.”��

Applications for the 2027 camp will be accepted from fall 2026 through mid-January, 2027. Information about the��Upstate Pre-Med Boot Camp��and an application can be found online here.��

��ҹ�糡 Vice President for Community, Dignity and Inclusive Campus Family, Dr. James Noble, said, “This year’s fellowship included faculty, staff and administrators from a few of the universities that were represented. These key stakeholders had an opportunity to experience first-hand the inspiring teaching sessions, community service opportunities, and the onsite cultural experience in Atlanta at one of its spectacular museums.”��

This marks the second year of the Ambassador Andrew Young Fellowship at ��ҹ�糡, which has been named after, and endorsed by, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young as a reminder that participants embody the character, service and legacy of its distinguished namesake.����

Young, who earned worldwide recognition as a champion of civil and human rights, helped ensure passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and later served as a member of the United States Congress, ambassador to the United Nations, mayor of Atlanta and as an ordained minister. ��

Dr. Matt Daniels, who launched the Fellowship with Anthony Jones, former chair of the HBCU Committee of the College Board, says that the Ambassador Young Fellows are standing on the shoulders of giants like Dr. King and Ambassador Young and believes they will emerge as leaders in their own right. ��

“Our   seeks to train a new generation in the unifying and timeless principles of America’s founding as expressed in the work of Dr. King,” Dr. Daniels said. “Approximately half of these students come from historically black colleges and universities, and the rest come from a wide array of other educational institutions from across the country.”��

Dr. Larson’s leadership includes the creation of the South Carolina School of the Arts, expansion of the Rainey Fine Arts Center, the establishment of key degree programs in the arts, and the new Conservatory of Music.��

Former Anderson President Dr. Mark Hopkins got to know Dr. Larson when they both lived in Illinois. When Dr. Larson was leading the Theatre Department at Judson College (currently Judson University) in Illinois, Dr. Hopkins reached out to him, initially seeking his advice regarding uses for the newly constructed Henderson Auditorium.��

Dr. Larson recalls, “He wanted someone who would help chart a course for this new auditorium he had inherited.�� When I visited, I realized I was being tested, and so I dutifully submitted a report with my suggestions. A year later, Dr. Hopkins sent me a voicemail and said, ‘We have a new position, the Associate Dean of Arts. Sensing God’s leading, Dr. Larson said “yes” and moved with his young family to Anderson. His job was to help develop music, art and theatre and to manage the new auditorium.��

“There was no Peace Center. There was no Brooks Center. In the late eighties, Centre Stage at Anderson College was the primary venue for professional performing arts in the Upstate. For eight years, Centre Stage presented six to eight touring performances per year. About a thousand season tickets a year were purchased for Center Stage—which was just enough to cover artist fees.” The series attracted some big acts for the time, including the Atlanta Symphony, Burl Ives, Chet Atkins, Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie.����

“In my second summer here, we were given money to renovate Merritt Auditorium, turning it into a home for the theater program. I transitioned over to academics just before the institution made the change to four-year status, about the time the college was deciding to build phase two of the Fine Arts Center.” Dr. Larson added, “Those were wildly busy days!”��

Dr. Larson asserts that none of the successes of the South Carolina School of the Arts would have happened if not for the vision of President Evans P. Whitaker and a supportive administrative team.��

He also praises the leadership of the school’s three academic programs—Art + Design, The Conservatory of Music, and Theatre and Dance—developing innovative, relevant programs that guide graduates into rewarding careers in the arts.����

Dr. Larson is thankful for ��ҹ�糡 rallying around him over four decades of change and various health challenges. When asked about what retirement looks like, Dr. Larson says that, at least for now, he’ll stay in Anderson.����

Assuming Dr. Larson’s role is Associate Professor of Art and Design, Jer Nelsen. Beginning in the summer of 2026, Nelsen will serve as the Interim Dean of the South Carolina School of the Arts.��

“In summary,” Dr. Larson says, “my story is one of God’s faithfulness to help build a serious arts program, firmly set on a strong faith foundation. Ultimately, that means hiring and cultivating dynamic Christian faculty who will inspire and role model the integration of their art and their faith. Hire the right people, and good things happen. I am thankful to have seen this arts enclave grow and develop. Indeed, we are a special place- serious about our art and serious about our faith at the same time.”����

��ҹ�糡 Celebrated more than 800 graduates in two ceremonies on its historic Alumni Lawn—a commencement for undergraduate students on Friday morning, May 8, and a commencement for graduate students on Saturday morning, May 9.����

The speaker for the Friday ceremony was President Emeritus of Rhodes College Dr. William E. Troutt. Dr. Troutt became President Emeritus of Rhodes College in 2017 after leading the college as president since 1999. Prior to Rhodes, he served as president of Belmont University for 17 years.��

Characterizing him as a master builder of educational institutions, ��ҹ�糡 President, Dr. Evans P. Whitaker, who served with Dr. Troutt at Belmont, said of him, “Many leaders manage organizations. Dr. Troutt built cultures, planting seeds whose harvest will come for generations.”��

Dr. Troutt urged the 2026 graduates to live their lives guided by a grateful heart.��

“Beginning each day and living each day with a grateful heart will be a game changer—a��game changer for you and everyone you encounter,” he said. “You can start every morning simply by giving thanks to God for the day that lies ahead. Focusing on blessings big or small will keep you anchored in God’s goodness. Each day presents countless opportunities to express gratitude and kindness to others.”��

The speaker for the Saturday ceremony was Dr. Hesham Elnakib, Distinguished University Professor of History, Political Science and International Diplomacy at ��ҹ�糡. Throughout his career in the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Elnakib has held several senior leadership positions, including serving at the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, D.C. ��

Dr. Elnakib shared with graduates about how, after serving many years as a diplomat working in international relations, diplomacy and global engagement, he found completeness in serving as an ambassador to Jesus Christ. Sharing scripture from the Apostle Paul and the Psalms, Dr. Elnakib urged the 2026 graduates to be on mission to serve others and to choose to live with integrity.��

“Serving others in your work instead of focusing only on yourself… No matter what you do in life, you can live out your mission right where you are. You don’t have to leave your career to find it. You live it every day by how you treat people, how you lead and the values you choose to stand by, even when it’snot easy,” Dr. Elnakib said. “Your mission is your compass. Keep your eyes on it, and don’t let anything pull you away from it.”��

In addition to degrees conferred to Anderson graduates, ceremony highlights included AU Board of Trust Chair Shawn McGee giving the invocation in the Friday ceremony and Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board of Trust Dr. Margaret Wooten in the Saturday ceremony. Associate Professor of Chemistry Dr. Fritz Moise gave the benediction during the Friday ceremony, and Associate Dean of Education in the Graduate Program Julie Smart gave the benediction in the Saturday ceremony.����

During the Friday ceremony, D’Andre Hicks, student body president, presented the Class Gift, a black marble emblem to be installed at the Merritt Administration Building, inscribed with the concluding words of the Alma Mater, “We know we love our alma mater, We know the joy of life she brings, Ah but there’s one thing that only God can know; what Anderson means to me.”��

Former Anderson President Dr. Lee Royce received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree. Dr. Royce was president from 1995 until 2002, presiding over a period of significant growth in enrollment and the size of the endowment. He was succeeded by President Whitaker, who credited Dr. Royce with turning around the then two-year college during desperate times. ��

Recognizing her sacrificial and outstanding service to Anderson as First Lady alongside her husband, current First Lady Diane Whitaker presented Rhoda Royce with the Annie Dove Denmark Award.����

In the Saturday ceremony, University Provost Ryan Neal presented posthumous Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership��to Ryan Gaither Karp, who was on track to graduate in May. The degree was presented to his wife Jessica and their three children.��

Ruby Dean and D’Andre Hicks received the President’s Award. The Michael Bolles Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Professor Lauren Imhoff of the South Carolina School of the Arts.����

The program has been named after, and endorsed by, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young as a reminder that participants embody the character, service and legacy of its distinguished namesake. Young, who has earned worldwide recognition as a champion of civil and human rights, helped ensure passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and later served as a member of the United States Congress, ambassador to the United Nations, mayor of Atlanta and as an ordained minister.��

“Our Ambassador Young Fellows are standing on the shoulders of giants like Dr. King and Ambassador Young, and I believe they will emerge as leaders in their own right, helping to stem the rising tide of violence in our nation and world,” said ��ҹ�糡 Distinguished Professor of Law, Human Rights and International Affairs at ��ҹ�糡.  ��

Dr. Daniels launched the Fellowship with Anthony Jones, former chair of the HBCU Committee of the College Board. Twenty-seven students from 13 institutions across the country and from ��ҹ�糡 will participate.����

“Our   seeks to train a new generation in the unifying and timeless principles of America’s founding as expressed in the work of Dr. King,” Dr. Daniels said. “Approximately half of these students come from historically black colleges and universities, and the rest come from a wide array of other educational institutions from across the country. ��

“Dr. King’s unifying principles—rooted in the transcendent ideals of our nation’s founding—offer an educational antidote to the rising tide of division, conflict and violence in our world,” he said. ��

 Dr. Daniels and ��ҹ�糡 President Evans P. Whitaker two years ago met with Ambassador Young in a discussion about the ways in which Christian colleges in general—and AU in particular—can develop educational programs that aim to decrease societal division, political polarization and inter-personal violence.��

“At this critical hour in our nation’s history when polarization is at an all-time high, it is a must that we focus our energies on salvaging some salvation for our future through the lives of dedicated young people to the unifying truths Dr. King espoused. I’m grateful for Ambassador Young’s continued support in this important endeavor,” said Anthony Jones, former chair of the College Board HBCU Conference.����

The move comes as the second Ambassador Andrew Young Fellowship kicks off at ��ҹ�糡 on May 10; the Fellowship once again is bringing nearly 50 students and administrators from around the country to the AU campus to learn from the Gospel-based principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ambassador Andrew Young and other civil rights pioneers in an ��attempt to help heal dangerous political, social and racial divisions continue to threaten the future of our nation.

“At a time when student proficiency in U.S. history and civics remains a pressing concern, Professor Daniels’ work directly addresses these challenges,” said Chris Neeley, superintendent of the South Carolina Charter Public School District. “His curriculum, grounded in the enduring words and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., emphasizes themes of hope, civic responsibility and non-violent progress. It equips students not only with historical knowledge but also with the perspective and character necessary to engage as informed and thoughtful citizens.”

“The real story here is the statewide distribution that we’re seeing for our K-12 curricula. This speaks to the positive impact AU has an educational institution in our home state—particularly since we’re living in an era when violence is so much of the domestic and international news,” Dr. Daniels said. “But it does help to have some of the state’s leading school networks in our own backyard so enthusiastically embracing our educational vision.”

South Carolina played an outsized role in our nation’s founding sin of slavery but has also been the scene of some of our nation’s greatest acts of forgiveness and racial reconciliation. By presenting this full historical picture, we respond to Dr. King’s belief that “with this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

Dr. Daniels in June is participating in a panel discussion at the 2026 Palmetto Educational Summit, which convenes educators, administrators, community and business leaders, policy makers and partners around five priority areas: literacy, career readiness, civics and character and resilience education. Each keynote is intentionally themed around one of these areas and followed by a panel discussion that extends the conversation and considers practical implications.

“Matt has developed what can best be described as a comprehensive educational ecosystem—spanning K–12, higher education, churches, corporate leadership, and national scholarship pipelines,” said South Carolina State Superintendent of Education Ellen Weaver. “His human dignity curricula for K–12 students, published by McGraw Hill and endorsed by Ambassador Andrew Young, are already in use statewide in multiple states and districtwide in major urban systems. That work has grown into the Andrew Young HBCU Scholarship Program, launched in partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and supported by respected civic leaders, including the Mayor of Atlanta.”

The Rotunda was gifted to the University by an anonymous supporter, with other individuals providing their support as well.

After nearly two decades of service to ��ҹ�糡, Dr. Talmadge died in 2020. Additionally, he taught at the Billy Graham Center and was a member of Boulevard Baptist Church in Anderson. His wife, Billie, lives in Florida with family.

“For nearly 20 years, on this campus, Dr. Talmadge influenced, shaped and bettered the lives of countless young minds and the colleagues with whom he served,” said ��ҹ�糡 President Evans P. Whitaker, Ph.D. “It appropriately epitomizes the life of its namesake: an intelligent, wise, kind, thoughtful, humorous, and steady Christian gentleman who was a giant among AU leaders. All his life, Paul quietly, humbly, and thoroughly made life a little easier and more beautiful for those around him.”

The structure is known as a “temple” or “garden folly.” It’s not a temple in the religious sense, but rather as a “temple of ideas” and a testament to Dr. Talmadge’s lifelong commitment to teaching and learning.

The name and inscription add to the campus’s unique identity rooted in its history and values. The rotunda doesn’t just tell a story; it honors Dr. Talmadge and connects the campus to timeless philosophical ideals, becoming a physical representation of the University’s commitment to cultivating not just knowledge, but also personal integrity and the classical virtues around which society is built and grows stronger.

“May this rotunda, the words inscribed on it, and the man for whom it honors always point and remind our students, our campus family, and the Anderson community of the character, love, and perfection of Jesus,” President Whitaker said.

“This great man may no longer be with us, but his impact, contributions and even footprint are yet still evident among us,” he said. “It is this University’s hope that this rotunda—much like Paul Talmadge did in his life—will encourage us and remind us that character is destiny. This holds true in Scripture, in that a person’s moral qualities profoundly shape their life in the here and now.”

��ҹ�糡 was among the more than 500 colleges and universities to compete in the 56-hour event. During the last team challenge, AU’s Cyber League team achieved a perfect score and perfect accuracy to claim the national title.����

The NCL Team Competition is a biannual cybersecurity competition designed for college students across the United States. It is one of the most recognized competitions in the field of cybersecurity education.��

To put it another way, think of the NCL as the Olympics for cybersecurity students. Teams compete by solving digital puzzles and defending against simulated virtual threats.����

Dr. Brandon P. Grech, director of the ��ҹ�糡 Center for Cybersecurity and cybersecurity competition coach, emphasized the collaborative effort behind the team’s success.��

“We are extremely proud of our cybersecurity students,” Grech said. “They have been persistent and intentional in their personal, professional, and spiritual growth at Anderson. They are surrounded by people who have invested deeply in their development, including the Office of Christian Life, the Honors College, the Department of Mathematics, the College of Business and Economics, and the IT Department, among many others across the ��ҹ�糡 family. This achievement reflects the collective team effort of students, faculty, and staff across AU.”��

The ��ҹ�糡 Center for Cybersecurity in 2020 became one of the first private higher education academic programs for cybersecurity in South Carolina. It offers degree programs in cybersecurity; cybersecurity and analytics; cybersecurity and criminal justice; and cybersecurity and mathematics.��

Since then, AU’s Cyber League team has made its mark in national competitions. In addition to its national championship, AU consistently ranks among the best schools in the country, according to the National Cyber League Power Rankings. It has been a fixture in the national rankings since the program began in 2020. ��ҹ�糡 is the largest private university in the state of South Carolina.��

The national champion ��ҹ�糡 Cyber League team included: Aaron McCurry; Camden Sloan; Joshua Cordeiro; Kyle Beauregard; Charlie Paddock; Zachary Lee; and Noah Perricelli.��
