Dream it. Chase it. Live it.
Chaser, The Mascot
The Story Behind Chaser
Named to honor SCC’s “Chaser” identity — inspired by the idea of always chasing excellence, opportunity, and growth — Chaser embodies the values we hold dear: persistence, passion, and pride in our community. When we set out to choose a mascot to represent our diverse, vibrant students, we knew it had to be something really special to embody a spirit of tenacity. It didn’t take long for someone to suggest a dog known for its intelligence: the border collie. Border Collies are among the smartest, most hardworking, and most talented dogs in the world. Known for their quick thinking, problem-solving skills, and strong connection with people, these dogs thrive on learning and interaction. Always on the move, border collies are driven, energetic, and eager to engage—making them the perfect symbol for students who are curious, active, and always chasing what’s next. Just like our students, they embody the spirit of SCC’s motto: Dream it. Chase it. Live it. every single day.
Where You’ll See Chaser
Chaser can be spotted cheering at SCC events, greeting new students at orientation, and representing the college at community gatherings. She’s a favorite among students, alumni, and children who attend campus activities, like Spring Fling, Fall Festival, and many other community-focused events!
Fun Fact: Chaser’s official debut was in 2020, and since then, she’s become a recognized figure across Upstate South Carolina.
