Wade Hampton High School Students Tour South Carolina State University


On March 12, 2010, a group of 11th and 12th grade students from Wade Hampton High School toured South Carolina State University. The students were provided with an opportunity to view a campus dorm room and have lunch in Washington Dining Hall. They also met and talked with several college students attending the university including an honor student, athlete, and a freshman who graduated from Greenville High School. The Department of Admissions provided the students with an informational session on the admissions process, scholarships, campus life, and Greek fraternities and sororities. The highlight of the day was the Nuclear Engineering information session held for the high school students. They viewed a video on Nuclear Engineering and were provided with information about careers in this industry including educational requirements and salaries earned.
