in advance. It is also helpful to think of any additional activities you would
like to plan that weekend: making reservations at your student’s favorite
restaurant or securing a photographer if your student wants professional
photos in their cap and gown.
STAYING CONNECTED AS AN ALUMNI
The transition to being alumni can be exciting, but it is important to
remember there will still be plenty of resources for your student to adjust
to life after college.
Clemson Alumni Career Services
The Clemson Alumni Association offers a variety of career resources
to all alumni one year after they have graduated. The Alumni Center and
the Career for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) have built
relationships with many top-recruiting agencies as well as many of the
Clemson Clubs across the country to offer assistance in career services
for our alumni. Some of these include networking, mentoring and
employment opportunities.
Clemson Clubs
Another way for your student to stay connected after graduation is to join a
Clemson Club. Because of the varied locations and interests of our Clemson
Family, we have developed Clemson Clubs and interest groups across the
country to provide special opportunities for information, volunteerism,
celebration and activities.
There are a variety of Clemson Clubs throughout the country for alumni
to network, cheer on the Clemson Tigers Football team and host programs
for potential new Tigers. Joining a Clemson Club is a great opportunity to
meet other Clemson fans in local communities and stay in-tune with what
is happening with the Tigers. Clubs are listed on the Clemson Alumni
website:

Homecoming is a great opportunity for alumni to return home to Clemson and
meet up with old friends and classmates and enjoy campus once again. Each
year, the Clemson Alumni Association invites alumni back for various tailgates
associated with clubs, groups and colleges. The Clemson Alumni Association
provides details for these events several weeks prior to homecoming to ensure
alumni have a full itinerary before arriving back on campus. To learn more,

The Clemson Alumni Association exists to serve alumni, friends and
graduates of Clemson University by providing them with opportunities to
network and gather to celebrate Clemson wherever they may be. Membership
to the Clemson Alumni Association is free and open to all former students.
