COMING OF AGE USCS after 21 years USCS was established in 1967 to continue the nurs- ing education program that was abolished by Spartan- burg General Hospital. The regional campus ' first home was the basement of Spartanburg General, but the rap- id growth of the student population necessitated a move. However, the students continued to enroll in the university, which provided the support to warrant the construction of the Administration building on what was to be the final home for USC-Spartanburg. Such growth has continued through 1989, thus enabling the Spartan- burg campus to expand into the modern facility it is today For twenty-one years, USCS has served the commu- nity by educating its young people. Without this institu- tion, many young adults would have had to leave the Spartanburg area for an affordable education, or possi- bly would have not attended college. In becoming an adult, one accepts responsibility, fo- cuses on a purpose in life, and gains the respect of others. For most people, the twenty-first birthday signi- fies entry to adulthood. For USCS, its twenty-first year signifies acceptance as a respected university. Every aspect of campus life has evolved into the complex academic society that students are proud to belong to, as our institution Comes of Age.
