From the DeanEarlier this month, I had the honor of congratulating this year’s graduates as they received their diplomas. These students deserve special recognition. When they first arrived on campus four years ago, they had no idea what was in store for them. Now they have successfully earned their college degrees. We commend them not only for their academic achievements but also their resilience and resolve as well as the dedication of their parents and families and their mentors and faculty. They exemplify the best of the human spirit in their persistence in overcoming challenges to achieve success.
At the close of this academic year, we also honored our outstanding students, faculty, alumni and staff who received awards for their leadership, scholarship and service to the college, the University and beyond. They are a credit to this institution, and I extend my wholehearted congratulations to these award winners.
I had the opportunity to speak with several of these award-winning students at our annual Honors & Awards ceremony, and I am impressed by their accomplishments and goals. Several graduated this month and are headed to jobs with major companies or have decided to pursue graduate degrees. Some have opportunities to study abroad, and others are returning to the college in the fall to finish their undergraduate degrees. All of these award winners are the leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs of the future, and we will need their creativity and ingenuity to solve the challenges of the 21st century.
These outstanding students follow in the footsteps of the three newest members of the Thomas Green Clemson Academy of Engineers and Scientists and our three newest Outstanding Young Alumni. All are well-deserving, inspirational professionals who are changing the world for the better, and they represent the college and the University well.
This month’s issue also highlights some of the exciting research being conducted in the college, particularly in the areas of transportation and outreach. A team from the Clemson University Center for Workforce Development is part of a consortium, including four South Carolina technical colleges, that is working to meet the pressing need for a workforce that can build and service electric and autonomous vehicles and develop the cybersecurity to protect them. In a related project, one of the college’s research groups has developed a self-repairing hose for dispensing hydrogen, which has the potential to be instrumental in helping the nation diversify its fuel supply. These are just two of the latest projects highlighting Clemson’s leadership in shaping the future of mobility.
Your support is crucial to our success, and I want to thank all who made contributions on Give Day, helping us to break a record with a total of $6,333,884 in donations. If you missed Give Day, you can still donate and support our college’s efforts by clicking on the “Make a Gift” tab below. As always, I appreciate each and every donation.
As we head into June, I wish all of you a summer filled with fun, family and friends, but most of all, stay healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
