Dr. Michael Amiridis, Executive VP for Academic Affairs, Provost, University of South Carolina

Times are good at the University of South Carolina in terms of athletics. 11-2 in football and national championships in baseball. How about...academics? Enrollment is up. SAT scores are up by 100 points over the last decade. USC has hired over 100 new faculty members this year and has ambitious plans to continue hiring over the next three years. In the spring, 290 people received PhD's - a record. A good time for academics, too? You bet.
