College of Arts and Humanities Annual Report 2023-2024

Leading the CLASS OF 2024

Finding harmony: Evan Dwinnell

Uniting health and the humanities: Madeleine Wolfe

Closing language gaps in healthcare: Rund Abdelnabi

Madeleine Wolfe made the journey to Clemson from Massachusetts seeking to help others, becoming a language and international health major. Following advice from her emergency physician mother, she earned her EMS certification to work with the Clemson University Fire Department during college. To further explore how she could help those around her, Maddie turned to Clemson Rural Health. Maddie’s research centered on understanding the impact of prescription produce on health outcomes in patients living with or at risk for diabetes. After graduation, Wolfe plans to pursue medical school.

Rund Abdelnabi’s academic success story is one of dedication and perseverance, starting with her family’s emigration from Jordan to the United States. Rund graduated with a degree in language and international health, prepared to help English, Spanish and Arabic speakers surmount language gaps. Her six-month study abroad trip through Clemson University’s Córdoba Center in Argentina provided real-world linguistic experience to improve Rund’s Spanish and inspired her to pursue a career as a physician assistant.

Despite his modest personality, Denver native Evan Dwinnell made a name for himself around campus as a masterful musician and songwriter. He was the lead singer of “Take Two,” a six-piece rock band that jams in downtown Clemson dives, and played at the inaugural Clemson Music Fest. Evan was a trumpeter in the University Jazz Band and played jazz piano at the President’s House. A performing arts major with a concentration in audio technology, he recorded the soundtrack used by the Clemson Players in its spring performance of “Little Women” on antique 19th- century pianos, uniting the arts and humanities at Clemson during his senior year.

The Class of 2024 entered higher education at an uncertain time. Faced with the first global pandemic in generations, our students demonstrated remarkable resilience, creativity and dedication throughout their academic journey. We are grateful for the mark they left on Clemson and are eager to see what they go on to accomplish next. These are a few of their stories.

Helena Harte was named the Norris Medal winner in Spring 2024, becoming the second humanities major in the last three academic years to earn the top honor of the graduating class. A double major in political science and history, Harte was recognized for her exceptional scholastic achievement and leadership ability. She studied abroad with the Dixon Global Policy Scholars Program in Paris and traveled to Spain with the Honors College. Harte is now living in Paris to earn her master’s in international affairs at the American University of Paris, a school started by the U.S. Department of State and one she learned about while studying abroad.
