Best wishes to you and your loved ones for the new year. I hope you had the opportunity to relax and spend time with your family during the holiday season.

For the second year in a row, we began by showcasing our latest Deep Orange prototype in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world’s largest tech event. The focus of this autonomous vehicle is on its off-road capabilities in reconnaissance and delivery of relief during natural disasters and other emergency situations. Our participation alongside BMW, Mercedes, Sony and other prominent corporations further emphasizes the international recognition of our college as a leader in automotive research.
As featured in this issue, we are also taking the lead in addressing other critical issues facing us today, including innovative research in solid-state batteries that have the potential to be safer and perform better than those currently being used. We are also the recipient of a recent NSF grant, strengthening our ability to translate our academic research into real-world solutions more effectively for the citizens of South Carolina and beyond. This issue also highlights our award-winning faculty and students; especially noteworthy is Giovanni Orlandi, a mechanical engineering major who is our second recipient of the prestigious Churchill Scholarship in two years.
As it does every year, the University took time earlier this month to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy with its annual Day of Service; it reminds us of the importance of service to others, and our students, staff and faculty were active participants in the various volunteer opportunities across campus and throughout the Clemson community.
Along with our MLK activities, the college also held its STEM All In event this month, welcoming 36 underrepresented college juniors and seniors interested in graduate school. They met with current students, faculty and alumni; toured appropriate labs and facilities; and were advised on the application process both for graduate school and for requesting funding.
As you can see, we are off to a good start this year, and you are a crucial part of our success. Gifts from you, our alumni, friends and supporters, play an important role in our being able to create the leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs highlighted this issue. If you would like to help us in this endeavor, you can click the "Make a Gift" tab below. As always, I appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
