A parking permit is required to park on campus to attend CLL classes. To acquire a permit decal, take your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to Room 104 of the Business and Education Building. You may also acquire a permit at Open House if you bring your license and registration. Permits expire each August—check the expiration date on your decal. When you come to campus, place your decal in the lower left corner of your windshield and park only in spaces with white lines; spaces with yellow lines are reserved for USCA faculty.

The annual Kauffman Remembrance Day was held April 15 at the Etherredge Center at USCA. The 2025 Kauffman Award was presented to Katie Dixon & Susan Steinbis.
Every Spring, the Center for Lifelong Learning holds a Remembrance Day to
honor the memory of Dr. Earl F. Kauffman. Dr. Kauffman was one of the
individuals most responsible for the creation of the Academy for Lifelong
Learning, one of the Center's predecessor organizations, back in 1989.
(To learn more about Dr. Kauffman and the founding of the Academy for Lifelong
Learning, please see our History page. Even more
detail may be found in the brochure of the first Kauffman Memorial Lecture
(now called Kauffman Remembrance Day), March 22, 1991. You may
read or download the brochure here.)
Each year on Kauffman Remembrance Day an award is given in Dr. Kauffman's memory to recognize a group or individual who has made significant contributions to the Center. This recognition has been given annually since 1992, three years after the Academy's founding. (2021 was an exception; no luncheon was held due to COVID-19.)
The Kauffman Luncheon is held in April and is funded in part from an endowment created by USC Aiken Professor James Kauffman and his family in memory of his father Earl. All Center members are sent invitations and are encouraged to attend. An RSVP is required for event planning purposes.
You may access a report of this year's event here.

*Vicki Collins was selected in 2020, but COVID-19 precluded a Luncheon. Sadly, Vicki died before the award could be presented to her. It was accepted by her husband at the 2022 Luncheon.
The McGrath Computer Learning Center, the other predecessor organization of the Center, selected a Volunteer of the Year during its years of operation 1999–2021. Each year's awardee was nominated by and voted on by the Steering Commitee. You can see the list of awardees here.
