BRIGGS continued from page 1
said.
But, Briggs adds, there's much more
to his job than tenure and he has goals
planned for all the various aspects of his
job.
"My main goal is to try to keep the
programs going that Don [Greiner] has
set in place ? Preston Residential College
and the First Year Reading experience,"
Briggs said. "I'm really concerned with
maintaining our contacts with [local]
high schools."
Briggs said USC invites several
Advanced Placement students to visit
university classes during the year.
USC also works in conjunction with
teachers in hopes of linking the University
and local schools together, to provide
students with a solid view of higher
learning and to recruit students.
With a such a set agenda, it's not
hard to see that Briggs will be having a
busy semester.
Briggs said he see's the search for a
new provost lasting throughout the school
year, which curtails his classroom time.
Yet, he's still able to teach a class on

Horace, the Latin poet. Additionally,
Briggs is getting ready tp publish two
books.
He admits there may not be enough
time in the future to write anymore books
or teach anymore classes, but ifs ok. At
the moment he considers his new job
pretty engrossing.
"As a professor, you pretty much can
only control your own bailiwick ? your
own program, maybe you have some say
in your department," Briggs said. "But,
up here, you really have the overview
of the University."
"You realize you have all kinds of
opportunities to try to maintain a level
at which the University conducts itself,"
Briggs said.
Briggs came to USC in 1978. He
earned a bachelor's degree in English
and classics from Washington and Lee
University and a master's and Ph.d in
classics from the University of North
Carolina.
