Vision

We aspire to build a university community where individual differences are celebrated, all members feel they belong, and everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our goal is to be a national leader in higher education for promoting inclusive excellence, access and accessibility, and community engagement.

Mission

The Office of Access and Opportunity at the University of South Carolina advances inclusive excellence by fostering dialogue, critical engagement, and transformative learning across the university and broader community. Through educational programs, collaborative partnerships, and campus-wide initiatives, we promote cultural awareness, expand access to resources, and cultivate an environment where all members are welcomed, valued, and supported.

How You Can Participate

Our office is staffed with caring individuals who actively seek input and participation from the university community. Though small in number, our people are here to assist you in your efforts to ensure a collaborative campus community.
