Artis will continue working on the college’s B2 plan to take the South Carolina HBCU to new heights.
“The DNA of Benedict College is what makes all the difference. For more than 152 years, Benedict has served culturally, academically, financially, demographically, racially, and socially diverse people,” Artis wrote in the President’s letter.
The plan includes building a more inclusive campus, boosting student engagement, and ensuring its academic programs provide the necessary tools for students’ futures. Moreover, this plan intends to elevate campus facilities and resources.
“We are exceptionally proud and fortunate to have such a strong leader guiding the College to higher heights and through the numerous challenges facing higher education institutions today,” said Chairman Charlie W. Johnson in a statement. “President Artis is keenly aware of the current issues students face, and she has demonstrated a deep commitment to providing students with formative learning experiences that prepare them to lead and succeed professionally and personally.”
With this contract extension, Artis hopes to fulfill her latest mission to advance Benedict College and its place among HBCUs.
