Join us for our Annual WTS SC Scholarship & Awards Reception to honor our 2022 recipients! This year WTS SC will honor two scholarship recipients, and we will announce four industry awards for Employer of the Year, Member of the Year, Woman of the Year and our first Rosa Parks Leadership Diversity Award. Don’t miss this chance to honor our prestigious winners this year, which include multiple high-profile awardees from across the state who are making a difference in advancing Transportation in SC. We will also have a special guest speaker during this reception, President and CEO of Benedict College, Dr. Roslyn Clark Artis.
Dr. Artis was unanimously appointed by the Board of Trustees as the 14th and first woman President of Benedict College on June 30, 2017. A prolific speaker, critical thinker and fierce advocate for educational access, Dr. Artis is frequently engaged as a mentor, lecturer, and catalyst for strategic transformation. She is a widely respected innovator and thought leader on issues of higher education, specifically as it relates to underserved and vulnerable populations, having published countless articles and editorials on topics related to higher education equity and inclusion as well as the complexities associated with leading minority serving institutions. She has received more than 300 awards and recognitions locally and nationally for her work. WTS SC is thrilled that Dr. Artis will be joining us to provide valuable insight on successful initiatives to promote underrepresented populations and the future STEM workforce.
We hope you will join us for what is sure to be an inspiring evening, and we would like to thank the WTS South Carolina corporate sponsors whose contributions and support make the Scholarship & Awards program possible.
