Welcome to Southern Bank & Trust!

Southern Bank & Trust recently donated $10K to USCA faculty

Southern Bank & Trust recently presented $10,000 to USC Aiken officials at the bank’s main office at 149 Laurens St. N.W. in Aiken.

The donation will be used to finance the Southern Bank & Trust Faculty Scholarship Excellence Endowment Fund.  The purpose of this fund is to provide an annual award to a USC Aiken School of Business Administration faculty member to recognize research excellence.

Pat Cunning, Southern Bank & Trust’s Board chairman, says, “This donation is one way we can express our gratitude to USC Aiken for its like-minded efforts to improve our community while simultaneously rewarding deserving faculty members.”

Criteria for the faculty award include a strong record of research excellence, letters of recommendation, and overall contributions to the mission of the School of Business Administration.

Southern Bank & Trust Chief Financial Officer Darrell Rains, a graduate of USC Aiken’s School of Business Administration, also serves on the School’s advisory board.    “Since we opened in 2006,” said Rains, “Southern Bank & Trust has made a commitment to give back to the community that trusts us to provide quality financial products and services. This endowment is just one of the ways we are doing that.”

“The School of Business Administration recognizes the importance of faculty relating scholarship activities to the classroom, said Dr. Ralph Byington, dean of the School.   “Our focus,” he said, “remains to allow students to move from the classroom to the boardroom, and the ability to recognize research excellence with this award only enhances our program. Our faculty are very grateful to Darrell and the Bank for their support.”

Southern Bank & Trust President Frank Townsend said, “USC Aiken is a thriving part of our community, and we are pleased to support its continued success by donating our time, leadership efforts, and financial support.”
