Message From the Honors Dean
The Clemson University Honors College is where the University’s highest achieving students come to explore — new ideas, interdisciplinary perspectives, and opportunities that help them look at learning in a different way. The Honors College has grown significantly over the past year in the number of first-year and continuing student applications, student programs and opportunities, staff supports, and connections with our alumni. With that growth comes an increased focus and ability to ensure Honors students have the opportunities and experiences they need to succeed. Recently, for example, we launched a new Honors Success Grant program to help students participate in invaluable short-term opportunities that can arise during the academic year, such as learning experiences over spring or winter break or weekend academic contests. We introduced a new monthly alumni speaker series, helping our students connect with and learn from leaders in their fields. And we’re expanding Honors experiential learning opportunities by designing new Honors courses that provide unique and compelling interactive academic experiences. Our goal is to continue to attract high achieving students, give them access to exceptional learning opportunities, and help them define and reach their goals. You can see how we’re doing just that in the following pages.
Our goal is to provide our students with the resources and opportunities to excel and to think about not only what they want to do, but who they want to be.
