Debbie
Garris
Administrative Assistant to the Director of the School of Journalism and Mass
Communications
Originally from Virginia, Debbie Garris has lived in South
Carolina since 1968 when her father accepted a transfer with
DuPont to Camden, S.C. As this move was the summer
before her senior year in high school, she arrived in South
Carolina kicking and screaming, but after 34 years has decided
to stay.
Garris began her college education at Radford College, Radford,
Va. in 1969 and finished at USC in 1972. She continues to
take courses at the University whenever she can, as well
as local equine courses.
While taking a photojournalism class in 1998, Garris had
the opportunity to take pictures at the Carolina Cup steeplechase
race in Camden, SC, and became hooked. For the last five
years, she has had the opportunity to cover races in Ga.,
N.C., S.C., and Va., horse shows in Va., S.C. and Fla., and
private shoots at local horse farms.
She has been published in Steeplechase Times, Careers
in the Horse Industry, National Steeplechase Annual, National
Directory for Andalusians, and various web sites. Garris
has also done photography for private individuals, conventions,
and luncheons, etc., as well as various school events.
