Vincent and Joel sit down with University of South Carolina's President Emeritus, Dr. Harris Pastides to break down how he led the University out of crises in 2008 and into record growth in enrollment, new levels of academic success, a billion-dollar fundraising campaign, and a tradition of camaraderie and selfie taking. Hear about the amazing life that led Dr. Pastides to his presidency at USC.

They discuss the problems with USC's board of trustees, why South Carolina does not fund its public institutions, how that causes tuition to be at record highs, and hear insightful questions from the Honor's College.
