As It Is In Heaven
By Arlene Hutton

As It Is In Heaven is a powerful and compelling story about a religious community that is changed when a non-believer has an ecstatic experience. The 1830's Shaker society of Pleasant Hill, Ky., is one of routine and ordered ways. The arrival of Fanny upsets the harmony; the Sisters suspect her to be a "winter Shaker," one who suddenly converts when life gets too hard on the farm. Fanny sees angels in the meadow, and soon all the young women are receiving spiritual "gifts" of songs, drawings, ideas and giggles, which completely upsets the community.

The Housing & Residential Life Department is hosting the 2013 South Carolina of Residential Education Conference at USC Upstate. Students from other colleges and universities in the state will attend the conference to share ideas and learn from each other about creating diverse, educational, leadership, and social programs for residents living on campus.

College Goal SC will be held on Saturday, February 23, 2013 from 10am until 1pm at 22 locations across South Carolina. This year, USC Upstate will hold its event in the Health Education Complex located on North Campus Blvd. This event is an opportunity for students and parents to get professional help with completing their FAFSA and to gain information about state scholarship programs as well as information about the state’s two and four year higher education institutions.
