Dr. David Holmes Swinton is the thirteenth president of Benedict College.
Since Dr. Swinton’s appointment in 1994, the College has experienced a dramatic increase in its enrollment, particularly among male students. As a result of this tremendous growth, Benedict has the second largest undergraduate population of the 20 private institutions in South Carolina, and has become the third largest college in The College Fund/UNCF network.
Benedict has over 15,000 alumni throughout South Carolina and the United States. The College has been “a power for good” in the community for over 143 years and is a major economic contributor to the region and South Carolina, with a local annual economic impact of $106.7 million.
