In addition, he pursued further graduate work in higher-education administration at Florida's Nova University and in management at the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, Henry Giles believes strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions have led him to serve that community, as well as the broader community of South Carolina, in numerous capacities.
