Farewell Celebration for Dr. and Mrs. Sorensen

Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2008

Time: 3 - 4:30 p.m.

Location: Davis Field (Beside Russell House)

Free Food and Fun

As we conclude this academic year, I ask that you take a moment to
reflect on your individual achievements as well as the accomplishments
we have made collectively as a university community. In this time of
celebration, we extend great appreciation to a person whose guidance
and support has benefited our institution in countless ways.


For the past six years, Dr. Andrew A. Sorensen's contributions have
been at the core of our University's success-new University initiatives
including the establishment of the Office of Undergraduate Research,
the Capstone Scholars Program, and the Gamecock Guarantee have been
implemented under his term. While we are sad to see him conclude his
tenure as president, we can truly say that our university is a better
place because of his leadership.

I would like to extend an invitation to you, to help us bid farewell to
Dr. Sorensen and his wife, Mrs. Donna Sorensen, as they embark upon a
new journey. There will be a farewell celebration on Tuesday, April 22
from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Davis Field, beside the Russell House. I hope
that you will join us on this day to thank the Sorensens for their
contributions to the University South Carolina.
