The Columbia World Affairs Council is pleased to present the 2024 Global Vision Award to the University of South Carolina's International Business Programs at the Darla Moore School of Business, honoring William R. Folks Jr., Kendall Roth, and posthumously, former Dean of the Business School, James K. Kane, in celebration of the renowned program's 50th anniversary. This will mark the 31st year the Columbia World Affairs Council has presented the award to recognize a global vision that has made a significant impact on projecting South Carolina internationally. A black tie gala will be held on Tuesday, December 3, at the Columbia Museum of Art.
"The award-winning International Business Programs at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business have trained outstanding global business leaders for half century," said Bob Coble, former Columbia Mayor and Chair of Columbia World Affairs Council Board of Directors. "Now, those leaders have spread across every corner of the world representing South Carolina and the Gamecock spirit. As a result, our state has become synonymous world-wide with excellence and as a welcoming destination for trade and investment."
Founded in 1993, Columbia World Affairs Council showcases South Carolina globally through enlightening educational programming and innovative international exchanges.
