Schools, churches, social service providers, & other organizations have asked us for information about how to better serve immigrants. In response, we have compiled resources on a range of topics. This is a work-in-progress.
Please email us if you know of additional resources we should include.
About our logo, creatively designed by branding expert, Amy Carter -
The logo depicts Spes, the goddess of hope seen on our state seal. She is a beacon of solidarity, strength, and approachability. Supporting elements, also borrowed from South Carolina's heritage, include the crescent moon, a symbol of victory, as well as the navy color borrowed from our flag and originally derived from the uniforms worn by our soldiers in the Revolutionary War. The branch of laurel Spes carries is a symbol of triumph and victory, which speaks in conjunction with the other elements of the seal, depicting the victorious battle at Fort Moultrie. In the context of SCUWI, the branch could be further imbued as a symbol of peace. By leveraging these heritage elements, we portray a sense of unity not only with refugees and immigrants but with the state as a whole – this coalition does not exist in spite of the state but in unison with it, playing an integral part in creating a safe and welcoming home for those who seek it.
