The Arnolds are dedicated and generous advocates for a healthier South Carolina. In 2000, the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina was named for Norman J. Arnold in recognition of the couple's generous endowment. Through the Arnold's support, the school is better able to serve its students and the citizens of the state in promoting good health for people everywhere. For more than two decades, the Arnolds have donated their time and significant resources to public and volunteer agencies. They continue to support the Arnold School by recognizing the school's outstanding alumni through the establishment of the annual alumni awards.
