50th Anniversary Wall of Fame

“…[they] encouraged me professionally, mentoring me as a junior scholar when I was at home with three children, under-employed as a long term adjunct, and deeply needed encouragement to believe in myself as having a place in the profession.”

— Constance B. Schulz, Distinguished Professor Emerita,
Department of History, University of South Carolina

As Connie Schulz’s tribute reminds us, mentorship is what the SAWH is all about.

So, for our 50th Anniversary, we present the SAWH’s Mentorship Wall of Fame!  (Hover over any name to magnify it).

This visualization reflects the contributions of more than 50 members and friends of the SAWH who donated $25 (or more) for the privilege of naming one or more of their mentors to our “wall.” We made it a bit of a competition by promising that those nominated most often would appear in the largest fonts. Thanks to all who contributed, raising more than $1700 for the organization’s future!
