From the DeanIt is that time of year again. Classes and exams for the fall semester are over, and last week we congratulated our newest graduates who will be remembered for their flexibility and resilience. They truly represent the best of the Clemson spirit. But theirs is not the only success we celebrate; this issue also highlights accomplishments of students, faculty and staff who have distinguished themselves through their hard work and dedication.
Several students featured in this issue underscore the college’s reputation for cutting-edge programming and exemplary faculty mentoring. You can read about the latest protype and accomplishments of the Deep Orange students and the environmental engineering team who won first place in a national design competition for their innovative process for disposing of biosolids in wastewater. Other students are being recognized for their research efforts focused on treatments for cancer and osteoarthritis and the development of the next generation of rechargeable batteries.
Our network of supporters, including alumni and staff, are also key to the success of our college, and we recognize several in this month’s newsletter. Doug Haugh, a chemical engineering alumnus, has partnered with the college to create a nonprofit focused on creating the engineering leaders of the future. He has interviewed college alumni representing the top executives in the corporate world for a podcast highlighting the strength and depth of our alumni network. We also feature several staff members who won awards for going above and beyond during the past year to contribute to the success of the college.
The holiday season provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the past year and appreciate what we have accomplished. This year, as in the past, you, our alumni, friends and partners, have played a crucial role. We are very fortunate to have so many supporters whose gifts continue to help us offer new opportunities for our students, staff and faculty, and I am deeply grateful to serve as the dean of a college with alumni who are so generous with their time and treasure. Many people chose to make donations at this time of year, and if you would like to contribute to the college, you can click the “Make a Gift” tab below. As always I appreciate your generosity but most especially at this time of year.
I wish you and yours a happy, healthy and safe holiday season, one filled with family, friends and joy.
