Williams and Fairweather are attending graduate school and both were members of the Alice Carson Tisdale Honors College. Williams is in the master’s program for psychology and counseling at the University of Illinois. Fairweather is pursuing a master's degree in accounting at Indiana University "I am very excited about everything I accomplished at Claflin," said Fairweather, who delivered the “Senior Challenge.” She was Claflin's first-ever NCAA Division II national champion and All- American in track in the 200 meters. "I came to Claflin on an academic scholarship and joined the track program as a walk-on. I did not come here expecting to become a national champion but working hard, training hard, and doing my best enabled me to excel," said Fairweather. Fairweather also received scholarship support from the Passport to College program, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for qualified students from developing countries who are strong in STEM to attend college. As a first-generation graduate, Fairweather understands what her degree means to her family. "The commencement was a one-in-a- million, extraordinary event for my family," said Fairweather. "My mother could not make the trip from Jamaica, but she was able to watch the live streaming of the ceremony on the computer. She was very, very happy and excited." Williams described her Claflin experience as “academically stimulating” and said that her mentors and advisors contributed to her success in the classroom and her personal development. “Claflin has prepared me with the skills to navigate in a world of diverse attitudes and cultures,” Williams said. “Claflin taught me how to think critically as a visionary leader and transformed me into a responsible adult ready to affect positive change in the world.” Williams plans on earning a doctorate in counseling psychology.

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    wouldn’t it be nice by lewis shiner hat if? It’s not just science fiction and fantasy that asks this w question, it’s all of fiction. What if a young student murdered his landlady to prove his moral superiority? What if a woman survived the Civil War and three marriages only to find true love too late? It’s also the question by which we transform ourselves. What if I quit my job and moved to the desert? What if I turned myself loose to create “a teenage symphony to God?” The Icarus who attempted that teenage symphony in 1966 is now 53. For Brian Wilson it’s been thirty years of struggle: with drugs and diet, with people who want to run his life for him, with the intensity of his own feelings. The good news is that Wilson’s life is finally his own again. He is newly married to a woman named Melinda, who is calm and sweet and loving with him. He has a new house in the safety of a gated community high above the city. And he is back in the public eye with two new albums and a movie on the Disney channel. The film is I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times, directed by producer-of-the- moment Don Was. The soundtrack is a kind of Best of Brian Wilson, live in the studio with crack session players like Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Waddy Wachtel. This is not only a wonderful album in its own right, it represents a healing of other wounds.

  • Place Studies on Tourism and Identity in Modern South Carolina
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SOMBREROS AND MOTORCYCLES: PLACE STUDIES ON TOURISM AND IDENTITY IN MODERN SOUTH CAROLINA Paula Nicole King, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the rise of tourism as an important social and economic force in the U.S. South through place studies of tourist sites in South Carolina. The roadside attraction South of the Border and the historically black town of Atlantic Beach are analyzed as touriscapes that provide historical narratives foregrounding the connections between place and southern identity in the modern era. Touriscapes are defined as places where perspectives overlap and identities intersect to produce spaces of serious cultural and historical significance as well as recreation and fun. Both of these touriscapes were enacted as tourism developed and Jim Crow segregation began to crumble, and they have survived into the twenty-first century. They are sites of commercial development, resistance, and political strife that should be studied, engaged, and preserved for future generations to better understand the complexity of southern history, culture, and identity.
