2024-25 Honors College Dean's Report

2024-25 Dixon Global Policy Scholars

The 2025 cohort of Dixon Global Policy Scholars.

Every year, 12 outstanding Honors students are selected as Dixon Global Policy Scholars, a highly competitive program that challenges and equips a select group of Honors College students to tackle the world’s most pressing policy issues. The program is a hallmark of the scholars’ Clemson Experience, beginning with a European study- travel trip through which they examine the history, economics, and culture of France, Germany, and the European Union. Every scholar also takes two seminar-style classes focusing on public policy, political theory, philosophy, and economics and participates in student-led discussion groups where they explore current issues in politics, economics, history, law, culture, science and technology, culture, and the arts. Scholars are also encouraged to seek individualized educational experiences such as internships, foreign study, public service projects, or other significant undertakings consistent with the student’s academic and career goals.

Previous Dixon Global Policy Scholars have won major international awards and fellowships such as the Rhodes, Gates-Cambridge, Truman, and Churchill scholarships.
