Institute president William Keyes spent two days this week visiting colleges and universities across the state of South Carolina. He was hosted in the state by the office of U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC). DeMint aide Timothy Lollis accompanied Keyes for meetings with honors program directors, professors and students. The schools they visited included the College of Charleston, The Citadel, the University of South Carolina, Claflin University, South Carolina State University, Wofford College and Clemson University. Some of the students they met at these schools were among the brightest in the country.
