From the DeanIn just a few weeks, graduates in the Class of 2022 will cross a stage at Littlejohn Coliseum to collect their diplomas. A significant part of their educational journey took place while the world grappled with COVID-19. That they made it to the graduation stage is a wonderful testament to their resilience.
As graduation nears, several students are learning they have received prestigious honors and awards. Three from the College received the Goldwater Scholarship, and two current students and five alumni from the college were selected for the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). I congratulate Goldwater Scholars Jennifer Briglio, Arabella Hunter and Grant Wilkins and GRFP recipients Nicholas Deas, Miranda Grice, Venkata “Anish” Chaluvadi, Andrew Bell, Robert Falconer, Hayden Pagendarm and Erin Shappell. Each underscores why graduates of the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences are in high demand: We do more than teach technical skills. We are creating leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs of the future.
Several faculty members have also distinguished themselves this past academic year, underlining the high level of scholarship and hard work they bring to the college. Two have received Fulbright awards that will allow them to collaborate with some of the world’s best researchers in their fields and then share their knowledge with their students and colleagues. We are also featuring faculty members who have been recognized for excellence in teaching and research. These honors not only provide individuals with well-deserved recognition but also help raise the College’s national and international reputation.
You are a crucial part of our success. We need the support of our alumni and friends to help ensure students will be well equipped to thrive beyond graduation and to recruit and retain high-achieving faculty. The best way to offer assistance is to click the “Make a Gift” tab at the bottom of the screen and donate what you can. Every little bit helps and is much appreciated. We also hope you will join us for Give Day, which is Wednesday, April 20. This annual 24-hour fund-raising campaign rallies and unites the Clemson Family, while celebrating its generosity. To learn more, go to the Give Day website.
Thank you, and happy spring,

| Sincerely, Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
