A lot of proud Gamecocks have shared this video over the past couple weeks since its release.
From the University's press release:
Roberts wrote and recorded the song to honor her home state and beloved university as part of USC's historic $1 billion campaign - Carolina's Promise.
"I went to the University of South Carolina-Lancaster my first two years of college and received an amazing education and strong foundation for the rest of my life," Roberts said. "I was raised a Gamecock fan and most of my family are graduates from the University of South Carolina."
Co-written and produced by Jason Collum, "Sweet Carolina" gives Roberts a way to help out the campaign and honor the place she calls home.
"Writing this song for the University felt like something I was supposed to do," she says. "The University has given my family so much and I wanted to help this campaign in a way that I could, so I wrote and recorded 'Sweet Carolina.' It was fun thinking about the University, the students, the Gamecock fans, the alumni, the sporting events, and everything that makes me proud to call Carolina my home!"
Carolina's Promise is USC's commitment to students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and the communities we serve that we will continue to lead the way to improve the quality of life for all in our state and world. The campaign will raise much-needed funding for undergraduate, graduate and professional student scholarships; faculty research and excellence in teaching; innovative, relevant programs that will help solve some of society's biggest issues; and creating a modern, state-of-the-art learning and living environment through facilities and technologies that ensure our students' success.
