🌟 Congratulations to Cardarius “CP” Palmer on graduating from the USCB Nursing Program! 🎉 CP makes history as the second African American male graduate of the program—10 years after Dr. Jalen Manor, the first, who now proudly serves as his mentor and professor. What a full-circle moment! CP is a proud native of Wadley, GA, and the son of Ozzie and Sabrina Palmer.

CP shared that at USCB, he found a true sense of family. Unlike other schools he attended, the connections here were personal—faculty and staff were intentional about supporting him every step of the way to ensure his success. 💙👨‍⚕️

Just like CP, at USCB, your path is possible:

Two tracks: Second-Degree & Pre-Licensure
Three campuses: Bluffton, Beaufort, & Salkehatchie

We’re proud to share our Lowcountry IMPACT Grant, creating new opportunities for future nurses:

💰 Nearly $4M supporting student success
📈 Expanding enrollment to address the SC nursing shortage
📚 Professional tutoring, academic support, and workforce development
🌱 Strong pathways from program to practice

This investment strengthens both our students and healthcare across the Lowcountry.

👏 Join us in congratulating CP on this outstanding accomplishment!
