The Recognition Luncheons Committee (RLC) serves as an advisory committee to the Dean of the University. The committee helps plan, conduct, and assess two of USC Sumter's major annual official events -- the Scholarships Recognition Luncheon and the Awards Recognition Luncheon. Members of the committee coordinate all aspects of these events, including but not limited to the events' scheduled dates and times, the physical locations, sequencing, and timing of the various elements of the events, budgets for the events, invitations and communications to individuals to be honored at the events, publicity for and promotion of the events, publication of programs for the events, catered food, coordination of the event with classes and other scheduled events on campus, and the post-events assessments.

In keeping with these two luncheons' status as major annual official campus events, and as the sponsor of this committee, the Dean of the University will work closely with the committee in developing the annual events budgets, and will provide the funding and guidance necessary to support these important campus events.

As a Standing Institutional Committee, the sponsor of this Committee is the Dean of the University. The empowerment limits of the committee are to review and recommend to the Dean of the University, and to coordinate as necessary and appropriate with other working units and standing committees.
