This past weekend, HYPE students visited SC State University for a college tour and got an inside look at life on campus. Before exploring campus, students from Columbia Kappa League, Hampton High School, Carvers Bay High School, Jack & Jill of Charlotte and 4-H Pinckney Leaders connected with SC State’s 1890 Agriculture Innovation Scholars.

The scholars shared their college experiences, offered advice for navigating college life and encouraged students to start thinking about their own paths to higher education.

Experiences like these help students see what’s possible and envision themselves on a college campus. 🎓

Williston-Elko Middle School scholars recently completed a six-week SC State 1890 Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), led by I’Ayana Sanders, EFNEP educator and data specialist.

Throughout the program, scholars explored healthy eating, MyPlate, food safety, portion sizes, sugar, fats and strategies for making healthier food choices. They also participated in engaging, hands-on activities and prepared simple, healthy recipes, giving them the opportunity to put their nutrition knowledge into practice.

Through programs like EFNEP, SC State Public Service & Agriculture continues to provide youth with meaningful learning experiences that support healthy choices and lifelong well-being. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽
