President Joe Biden will visit South Carolina this week, his first trip back to the Palmetto State since he was elected president in November 2020.
The White House confirmed Biden will travel to Orangeburg County Friday to give the December commencement speech at South Carolina State University, the state’s only public four-year historically Black college. The university said Biden will speak at 10 a.m., at the Smith Hammond Middleton Memorial Center.
“The South Carolina State University family is honored and grateful to host President Biden when he addresses our graduates as they set a course for their futures,” interim university President Alexander Conyers said in a statement Saturday. “Our students will no doubt remember his words for the rest of their lives. This is indeed a privilege for all here at SC State.”
