MARCH–APRIL 2023

Give Day

There is strength in numbers.

When we unite as Tigers and friends of the College of Science, we are a powerful force. We create life-changing experiences for students, faculty and staff. We transform lives — on campus and beyond.

Clemson is the thread that connects us. Student to alumni. Faculty to student scholars. Tigers past and present. That connection is more important than ever.

Now in its eighth year, Give Day gives us a chance — together — to move Clemson and the College of Science ahead, to make a difference for our beloved University, future Tigers and those who are already a part of the Clemson Family.

It is an opportunity to celebrate our community, fortify the bond between us and give us another reason to be proud when we say, “I am a Clemson Tiger.”

This year’s Give Day is April 5, but you can make a gift now by clicking the Give to the College of Science button below.
