Staff Report / Spartanburglocal.org

The Upstate Talent Forum at the University of South Carolina Upstate, originally set for October 8th and 9th, has been postponed until November. This change is due to the effects of Hurricane Helene, which has resulted in substantial damage in the region, including downed trees, flooding, and power outages.

Chancellor Dr. Bennie L. Harris emphasized the importance of safety and well-being for the community and expressed the need for the postponement to ensure a successful and secure event. The university acknowledges the challenges faced by community members in the wake of the hurricane.

New dates and additional details for the Upstate Talent Forum will be communicated once they are finalized. Participants are encouraged to reach out with any questions or concerns.
