As I often say, everyone of my nine grandchildren makes me proud every day, and the joy I take from the variety of ways they continue to make me so proud is boundless. Today’s pride is in my youngest grandson, Angus Yeoman, son of Tracie and Chris, and a junior at the University of South Carolina. Like both his parents, Angus has selected the US Navy for his career, and like his mom, he’s beginning it with the Naval ROTC program at the same university. Not only am I proud that he made the Dean’s List….AGAIN!!!…but it was Angus, not his parents, who sent me the letter proving it. He knows what makes me happy! Cheers as well to Dean Samuels who recognizes how much more difficult college is for all students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Dear Angus, Congratulations on your academic performance in the Fall 2020 semester that earned a place on the Dean’s List at the College of Arts and Sciences. Your achievement represents not only excellence in the classroom but also perseverance in light of the myriad challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a small token to recognize your efforts, I thought you might want to let your network celebrate your success by sharing this Dean’s List social media graphic. On behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences faculty and staff, I want to offer you best wishes for continued success. Congratulations again, Joel H. Samuels University of South Carolina Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences
