BREAKTHROUGH SCHOLARS
Incoming Breakthrough Scholars spend the summer before their first year on campus building research skills and connections with leading Clemson faculty through the Honors College’s EUREKA! summer research program. The program is also focused on encouraging scholars to get to know one another and other incoming Honors students, creating a community that can last throughout their Clemson experience.
This year, BSP hosted a workshop designed to provide a space for scholars to explore their own academic and career goals, connect with STEM professionals to expand their networks, and equip them with the necessary tools to pursue research, graduate school, and careers in STEM.
Breakthrough Scholars are also serving as champions for STEM careers. For example, scholars
