Garnet Circle Logo

Mission and Vision

Garnet Circle strives to connect students with alumni, build a stronger campus community, prepare students for their careers and develop the next generation of leaders.

We envision a University where there is a strong and consistent thread between a student’s first day at orientation through their final days on campus.

A diverse group of young adults poses for a photo on a stage in a park, with a decorative stone monument behind them. They smile and make hand gestures, wearing a mix of formal and casual attire, surrounded by trees with autumn foliage.

Four Decades of Tradition

Garnet Circle exists to foster relationships between the University of South Carolina students and members of the Alumni Association. Members of Garnet Circle value all of South Carolina’s rich traditions and strive to continue them each year.

Not only does Garnet Circle uphold valued traditions, but they also create new traditions on campus. By putting on events for both students and alumni, Garnet Circle helps build relationships among generations of Gamecocks.
