The community is invited to join Lander University and the Arts Center of Greenwood for the third installment of the 2024-25 Community Lecture Series Tuesday, November 12. Dr. Franklin Rausch, professor of history at Lander, will give a lecture titled “Understanding South Korea.”
As Hurricane Helene was releasing its fury across Upstate South Carolina in the early hours of Friday, Sept. 27, Lander University police officers, administrators and essential personnel were already on campus to monitor the severity of the storm, assess damage, and ensure the safety and wellbeing of students.
After more than 60 years, Jo Ann (Miley) Purkerson still remembers which room was hers in Lander University’s Chipley Hall.
Like many of our fellow state and federal agencies, Lander University officials closely monitored Hurricane Helene as it made landfall. Yet, none of us could have anticipated just how disruptive this storm would be to our campus, our community or our state.
