The CCU Teaching Fellows are very excited to welcome their 15 freshman fellows. In hopes of building great connections and friendships with one another, each cohort of CCU Teaching Fellows hosted an event for the 2021 cohort. The events included a Welcome Reception with parents on Saturday, a Welcome Reception with all Fellows on Sunday, Movie Monday with the Senior cohort, Tuesday Tour Talks with mentor/mentees, Water paint Wednesday with the Junior cohort, Tie-Dye Thursday with the Sophomore cohort, a fun afternoon at the trampoline park on Friday, and to finish the week, Sun Saturday at the beach for a picnic!

New Fellows and a new tradition! The USC Aiken Teaching Fellows welcomed 11 Freshmen by hosting the inaugural Teaching Fellows Induction Ceremony. Each incoming Fellow was given a memento – a tangible symbol of significance or wisdom – by the sophomore, junior and senior Fellows. Each Fellow presented their memento to the Freshmen cohort and stated the significance behind it. The Freshmen Fellows left with 26 mementos, each a permanent reminder of what it means to be an teacher-leader and a Teaching Fellow at USC Aiken. It was a moving, heartfelt and truly inspirational experience for all our Fellows.
