Week of Giving 2023: Mr. Rosco Campbell


Listen Later

Mr. Rosco Campbell, Class of 1975, taught for 40 years in Anderson School District 4 in Pendleton, SC. He also served as an athletics official for many of those years and was inducted into the South Carolina Basketball Officials Hall of fame in 2015. He was among the first group of African Americans to attend Southern Wesleyan in the 70’s and in 2020, this group came together to form the Black Alumni Network in order to reconnect and give back to the school that had affected them so deeply. “We still had loyalty to the University, but we hadn’t been doing the things we should’ve been doing as alumni. So, when we got together during Covid, we started talking about how Central Wesleyan had impacted our lives and how it molded us into who we were and how it shaped us for our careers…We decided we needed to take that shared experience among ourselves and share it back with the university and the students there now. We want them to see what the future looks like for them.” There is no better way to show your loyalty to SWU than by making a gift during this week of giving. Help us reach our goal of $45,000 for student scholarships this week at https://www.swu.edu/giving/week-of-giving-2023/.
