Keyserling throws weight behind USCB name change

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling announced yesterday, August 24, his support to change the name of University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) “to reflect something much bigger”.

In a prepared statement, Keyserling said “The issue is emotional for many because the institution has meant so much to our community over the years. However, I believe it is time for USCB to get a new identity that describes more accurately what it is and what it can be, rather than what it has been. Under a new umbrella name we will have greater opportunities to strengthen the Beaufort College campus, with a very special mission making it a unique part of the state’s public, flagship university system, USC.

Here is Billy Keyserling’s entire statement:
