Students from Francis Marion University [1] met with Congressman Tom Rice of South Carolina. After his staff treated the group to pitchers of southern sweet tea, Inauguration academic seminar attendees met the Congressman outside the floor of the House, where he shared career advice and his past professional experience leading up to his current position serving in Congress.
The Congressman then took the students on a personal tour of the Capitol Crypt, where he posed for pictures in front of the statue of fellow South Carolinian, John C. Calhoun. One of the most exciting highlights of the site visit was the fact that the Francis Marion group was the first to meet with Congressman Tom Rice since his arrival to Washington, D.C.!
