The mission of Green Zone is to help faculty and staff become familiar with who our military-affiliated student population consists of, the value these students bring to the University, and become aware of the resources USC has in place to support and serve our veteran and military student population.

Who Should Attend

University of South Carolina Faculty and Staff Members

Jared Evans, Executive Director of Veterans & Military Affairs

There is no charge to attend this course. Employees should cancel their registration if they are unable to attend. Participants leaving early, during certificate courses, will not receive credit for attending. If there is an emergency, please notify the instructor.

In consideration of other attendees, we ask that you respect the following guidelines:

Perfumes and Cologne and Other Items with Fragrances

Attendees are asked to refrain from using, wearing, or bringing scented products and materials to training classes. Personal care products such as cologne, perfume, aftershave lotions, scented lotions, and fragranced hair products may cause headaches, upper respiratory symptoms, shortness of breath, and difficulty with concentration in persons with asthma or allergies.

Service and Therapy Animals

The University of South Carolina is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities and fulfilling obligations under State and Federal Law. Persons with disabilities are permitted to bring service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to training programs.

Emotional support animals, therapy animals, and companion animals are not permitted in training classes, except in cases where such animals have been explicitly approved by your supervisor or home department as an accommodation.

Individuals who are attending training classes who are allergic to, or have concerns about, service or therapy animals are encouraged to notify the Office of Organizational and Professional Development in advance of the training to ensure adequate space is provided to mitigate contact with such animals.

The Office of Organizational and Professional Development is committed to providing access to all individuals attending training courses. Please let us know if you require any specific accommodations as a result of a disability by emailing us at hrtrain@mailbox.sc.edu.
