When I was a department chair, Tom’s mentorship and leadership guided me and countless others with wisdom, kindness and unwavering support throughout our academic and professional journeys. As we honor Tom’s legacy, we are reminded that we stand on the shoulders of giants like him and that his legacy continues.
The recent annual review for the VIPR-GS Research Center underscores the college’s dedication to research ascension and the importance of industry collaborations. VIPR-GS Research Center, a partnership between Clemson and the U.S. Army’s DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center, supports more than 80 faculty members and about 120 graduate students across 10 departments in the college. By focusing on digital engineering and fostering collaborations with key stakeholders, we are advancing cutting-edge solutions that have far-reaching implications.
The VIPR-GS Research Center is one of many examples of the college having an impact locally, nationally and globally. Faculty members are working across disciplines to find solutions to some of the nation’s most complex challenges. They have been tapped, for example, to help the nation navigate human-systems integration, update a key atmospheric-turbulence theory and lead conversations about nuclear energy and waste, contributing to a sustainable and prosperous future for our region and beyond.
The remarkable goals and achievements of our alumni underscore the high caliber of leaders our college nurtures. Their successes show our commitment to creating the No. 1 student experience, an atmosphere where students are empowered to pursue their passions and make a meaningful impact on the world.
These past few weeks have reminded me of the significant impact that our community continues to make. We are immensely grateful for the support and contributions from our alumni, friends and partners who enable us to shape the leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs of the future. Your generosity allows us to provide unparalleled opportunities for our students and faculty, driving positive change. The best way to help is to click the “Make a Gift” tab below and donate what you can.
As we honor Tom's memory, let us continue to work together to carry forward the values of mentorship and leadership that he embodied.
Thank you for your support and commitment to our shared mission.
Sincerely,
Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
