Alumni Q&A: Jamie Hammill
Jamie Hammill graduated from the South Carolina Honors College in 1983 with a B.A. in elementary education. Jamie is the Vice President at Lexis Nexis and an At-Large member of the Alumni Association’s Board of Governors.
Hammill credits the SCHC for encouraging her to be a life-long learner.
“The Honors courses were unique, invigorating and more personal,” she said. “The faculty and staff were committed to helping students become their best possible selves, and the close knit Honors College atmosphere on the Horseshoe provided a special sense of “home” and camaraderie among classmates. This same notion of teamwork and encouragement has followed me through my professional career. I understand now more than ever that when people feel special and successful, so grows their own passion and drive to achieve more and exceed expectations. I am committed to investing in others, just as the faculty and staff at the Honors College invested in me.”
