USCB graduate Tyler Johnson urges peers to 'focus on relationships' in commencement interview

The University of South Carolina Beaufort’s spring commencement was featured on the Beaufort County broadcast, which included an interview with communications graduate Tyler Johnson.

Johnson, identified in the segment as a USCB communications graduate, told viewers to "take it easy" and not to stress small things as they move into the next phase of life. He emphasized focusing on "the great moments" and cultivating kindness and strong relationships. "I really appreciate that comment on the kindness," he said, adding that the university felt like home because of faculty and friends.

Johnson singled out professors, naming Dr. Jane Violet, and said relationships built at USCB will keep him connected to the campus. The broadcast directed viewers to the station’s YouTube channel for full commencement coverage.

The segment presented personal reflections from a graduate rather than institutional announcements about university policy or graduation statistics; no enrollment or degree-count details were provided during the clip.
