Summer at Carolina: A Peaceful Start After Memorial Day

We hope everyone had a meaningful Memorial Day yesterday as we honored and remembered the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. While campus offices were closed for the holiday, things are back up and running today as summer session continues here at the University of South Carolina.

Whether your student is home for the summer or spending the break in Columbia, campus remains a peaceful (and sunny!) place to be. From quiet study spots to open library access and campus rec, there are still plenty of resources available. We hope you’re enjoying the slower pace of summer and finding time to relax and recharge. Go Gamecocks!

Gatsby Glitz at Thomas Cooper Library

If you're on campus this summer, swing by Thomas Cooper Library for a quick step back in time. They’ve got a special Great Gatsby exhibit running through July 15, with cool artifacts like Fitzgerald’s flask and Zelda’s old golf scorecard. Kinda makes your dorm decor feel...basic.

It’s a fun (and air-conditioned) way to kill some time between classes or while waiting on your iced coffee. Just don’t expect it to explain why your roommate still hasn’t done their dishes—some mysteries even Gatsby can’t solve.

Fun Family Golf Simulator in Columbia!

Looking for a fun suggestion or something for the Gamecock Community to do when parents are in town? Pro Swing Columbia just opened on Forest Drive, offering top-notch Golfzon simulators and a PuttView system. It's a great spot to unwind with friends or for a family outing. You can book a bay online by the hour or explore their website for membership options. Just think—no sunburns, no lost balls, and no need to shout "fore!" Next time you're here, challenge your friends to a friendly game. Loser treats to dinner!
