Sen. Graham awarded Townes Award
The South Carolina Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics honored U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham during the 23rd annual Townes Award Dinner, on March 18 at the Columbia Marriott.
Graham could not attend the event in person and addressed the audience via video conference. Accepting the award on his behalf was his sister, Darline Graham.
GSSM presented the Townes Award, named for the late Dr. Charles H. Townes, South Carolina native and Furman graduate who won the Nobel Laureate in physics, annually to businesses, institutions and individuals who take aspirations of innovation and leadership to a higher level in areas of research, development, technology, public service and business in the Palmetto State.
Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and re-elected in 2008, garnering more than 1 million votes and becoming the top vote-getter in South Carolina history. In the Senate, Graham has earned a reputation as a conservative and problem-solver. Closer to home, Graham has led cuts in spending, reforming entitlements and job creation. In addition to his public service, Graham has achieved the rank of colonel through his committed service in the U.S. Air Force, National Guard and Air Force Reserves.
