Laura Griffin collection, 1996-1997.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47652493

Laura Griffin (1960-1996) was killed by a hit and run driver while she was jogging in 1996. The State Legislature quickly increased the penalties for hit and run drivers, and the Governor awarded the Order of the Palmetto for Griffin's work against substance abuse. The University of South Carolina awarded a Ph. D. for Griffin's nearly completed doctoral work in psychology. The College of Charleston and USC established scholarship funds in Griffin's honor. CHP (College and Community Health Partners) established the annual Laura Griffin 5K Run/Walk. The collection includes a T-shirt commemorating the first run and a draft of her doctoral dissertation.
