The Palmetto Chinese Star Competition is a statewide competition that allows Chinese language learners to demonstrate their language and cultural proficiency. The competition is in its seventh year, and Wofford College has earned six of seven opportunities to represent South Carolina in the regional competition. For the first time, the competition was not organized by proficiency level, so beginners competed alongside more experienced opponents.
