Congratulations to D'Arion Johnston on being named one of USC’s inaugural Graduate Experiential Learning Fellows!

D’Arion Johnston is a doctoral candidate in USC’s Counselor Education, Ph.D. program in the College of Education and expects to graduate in May 2027. A 2025-26 Graduate Student Teaching Award recipient, Johnston hopes to use the program to design learning opportunities that help future counselors practice skills, reflect on their experiences and connect coursework to real-world practice. She plans to bring that approach to her future work as a counselor educator and researcher.

Each year, the University of South Carolina celebrates exemplary alumni and friends with six key awards. Bestowed by the Alumni Association, the awards reflect the values that define the Gamecock community: service, integrity, character and leadership. In addition, every two years the president of the Alumni Association’s Board of Governors names a recipient of the Bethea Volunteer Service Award.

This year, the recipient of the Bethea Volunteer Service Award is Elizabeth Scott Moïse (’74 education, secondary english; ’89 law).

“This school is so good for the state," says Moïse, "We’re the flagship and can bring in qualified students who otherwise would not be given the opportunities to succeed that Carolina can provide."

We offer our biggest congratulations to an alumna whose life exemplifies service in the most profound way!

When staff from Amsterdam’s Anne Frank House came to Columbia in 2013 to launch an exhibition about the Holocaust at Dent Middle School, then-eighth grader Sam Livoti was recruited to be a tour guide.

She and her fellow docents guided more than 1,000 students through an exhibit about the life and legacy of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl whose journal documenting her family’s years hiding from N***s during World War II was published by her father.

Livoti’s experience helping to tell that story set the South Carolinian on a path she’s still on today.

“I had plans to go to law school, but the work here has had such an impact on me,” Livoti explains. “And now I get the opportunity to give other young people the same empowerment, confidence and leadership skills that were given to me.”
