Giving at South Carolina

A group of alumni, colleagues and friends organized an effort to raise funds to establish the first endowed scholarship for percussion students and have named it in honor of retired faculty member, Jim Hall. Jim retired as Distinguished Professor Emeritus in 2001 after twenty-two years teaching percussion at USC. He served as principal timpanist with the South Carolina Philharmonic and the Columbia Lyric Opera Orchestra. In 1989 Jim founded the Palmetto Pans Steel Band, who continue to enrich the community today.
