It highlights USC's substantial economic impact of $7.4 billion annually, its commitment to affordability with a record-setting freeze on tuition, and its role in educating over 55,000 students, including a notable number of first-generation students. The resolution also emphasizes USC's leadership in providing opportunities for African American and minority students, its innovative workforce programs, and its record in research funding, particularly in critical areas such as brain health and energy innovation.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges USC's contributions to healthcare education, including the production of over 4,000 health sciences degrees annually and the establishment of a new Health Sciences Campus. It also celebrates the achievements of USC student-athletes and their academic success, alongside the economic benefits they bring to the state. The resolution culminates in the declaration of Tuesday, February 11, 2025, as "Carolina Day" at the State House, reflecting the Senate's appreciation for USC's ongoing commitment to academic excellence and service to the citizens of South Carolina.
