In no order, Dr. Wally Peters is a farmer, dog lover, father, husband, fisherman, among many other things. However, the one role that everyone identifies him with is that of a teacher. This scholarship fund is established to honor Wally for his years of teaching, mentoring, and guiding mechanical engineering students at the University of South Carolina. Many beloved family members, students, faculty, and staff are working together to establish a legacy of scholarship students to be known as “Wally’s Scholars.”
Wally's dedication to his students is unmatched. His innovative teaching methods, larger-than-life personality, and infectious enthusiasm have made him one of the college's most beloved and memorable professors.
Wally has tirelessly supported his students, always putting their needs and futures first. Throughout his decades-long teaching career, he has influenced countless graduates and helped shape their lives not only through classroom lessons but also by teaching them how to build meaningful lives. His unwavering focus on his students ensured that everyone, regardless of their background, had the opportunity to succeed.
"I am honored to donate $1,000 to the Wally Peters Scholarship Endowment Fund. For me to do anything less would be an inexcusable act of ingratitude as I learned so much from Dr. Peters (and I had fun doing it!). Thanks for the opportunity."
