We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Dr. Brett Borton, Program Coordinator and Associate Professor of Communication Studies. A member of the USCB family since 2012, Dr. Borton was beloved by his students and colleagues for his kind heart and caring actions. He was every student’s cheerleader, supporter and friend and will be greatly missed. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be announced here.

Dr. Cavanagh’s archeology students have spent two semesters contributing to this wonderful project! She continues to work on helping Mr. Barnwell tell the tabby structure’s story.
