Community Engagement
Fostering Belonging
Strengthening Student Connection A strong sense of community is central to the Clemson Honors experience. Annual surveys of Honors students at the beginning and end of their journey consistently show exceptionally high levels of belonging and engagement. In 2025, 94% of Honors first-year students and 96% of Honors graduating seniors reported feeling “like part of the community at this institution,” compared to 86% and 89% of non- Honors students. These results reflect the Honors College’s ongoing commitment to fostering connection through shared experiences, mentoring, and collaboration. From the first day on campus to graduation, Honors students find a community that supports, challenges, and inspires them — an essential part of the College’s mission to deliver the No. 1 student experience at Clemson University.

Living-Learning in Action The Honors Residential College offers more than suite-style housing. It’s the heart of a vibrant living-learning community where Honors students connect academically, socially, and professionally. Located in Cribb & DesChamps Halls, the space pairs lounge and study rooms with Faculty-in-Residence who live alongside students and lead enrichment gatherings. The Great Hall hosts poster sessions, game nights, mentorship mixers, and faculty events, making the large Clemson campus feel smaller and more personal. Living among peers and engaging in structured programs, students gain confidence, build leadership, and create friendships that last beyond graduation. The Honors Residential College stands as a place where intellectual ambition and campus belonging unite.
“Living alongside other Honors students helped me create strategic study skills, learn how to manage my time, and deal with stress in a healthy way during my transition to college. ” Alana Robinson, Nutrition Major
