#HumansOfUpstate Spotlight: Meet Benjamin Luines! 💚

From the moment freshman Luines stepped onto USC Upstate’s campus, it felt like home.

“When I came to Upstate, I knew my daily walk to class would be beautiful because of the greenery,” Luines said. “Now, it’s more beautiful because of the people I get to say hey to.” 

An education major, Benjamin came to Upstate looking for more than a degree. He wanted an experience that would challenge him academically while helping him grow personally.
