ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA — The Winthrop Alumni Association has established two new
regional alumni chapters in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Upstate South Carolina
in an effort to connect and engage Winthrop graduates with their communities.
The Charlotte Regional Alumni Chapter and the Upstate S.C. Regional Alumni Chapter-which includes Greenville, South Carolina, and surrounding areas-will serve as a
catalyst for alumni to connect and network with one other, attend Winthrop sporting
and alumni events together and stay informed about current events at the university.
Additional chapters will be established in Columbia, Rock Hill and Charleston in South
Carolina and in Raleigh, North Carolina.

alma mater."
