"USCA has many different students from many different backgrounds, but one thing that ties us all together is the campus atmosphere.

"During the course of my freshman and sophomore years, I was a resident in the Pacer Downs. When I first met my roommate my freshman year, we became the best of friends from the get-go. We found out that we were so much alike in many ways. We connected like brothers, and we are still roommates today during our junior year. "

The atmosphere is great for learning."

USC Aiken Faculty Member, Alumnus Publish Sequel to Successful Children’s Book
Sep 24, 2009
USC Aiken faculty member, Dr. Maggie Thurmond Dorsey, and 1996 USCA graduate, Mr. Lorenzo Williams, have collaborated once again to release a sequel to the 2008 children's book, My Hero, My Dad, The Nurse.
The new book, entitled My Hero, My Dad The Nurse Played Football was written by Dorsey, an associate professor of nursing, and illustrated by Williams, an artist and art teacher at Butler High School in Augusta, Ga. In this charming story, the book's protagonist, Michael David Daniels, expresses his desire to play city recreation football, just like his dad, the nurse.
Dorsey, who holds the Wells Hanly/Bank of America Chair in Nursing at USC Aiken, said, "In this book, the dad-who happens to be a registered nurse-shares his values that include love of his family, love of the nursing profession, and love of the game of football... The illustrations in this new children's book are so bright and colorful. The artwork captures the warmth and fun of the story.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of the book will benefit nursing scholarships at USC Aiken. Both My Hero, My Dad, The Nurse and My Hero, My Dad The Nurse Played Football are available at amazon.com and booksurge.com.
For more information, contact Dorsey at maggied@usca.edu or 803.641.3268.
