Snow and ice are rare at Claflin University in subtropical Orangeburg, South Carolina. On Jan. 22, 2025, up to 3 inches of snow and ice fell on the campus. The winter storm forced schedule changes and class cancellations from Wednesday-Friday as cold temperatures kept the wintry mix around for several days, making for hazardous travel (walking too) conditions. Here, Claflin freshman biochemistry student Brea Childs enjoys time in the snow. She comes from Colorado, so she’s accustomed to snow and really doesn't like it. But a campus-wide snowball fight changed her mind this time. (Panther photos by Jayla Odom)
