ABOUT this ISSUE
From the VICE PRESIDENT
for STUDENT AFFAIRS
Dear Friends of Clemson,
It is an exciting time in Clemson University’s
history — a time of growth as well as immense
change. While some of these developments are
internal and may go unnoticed by those outside
of the campus community, there are some
major projects on our campus that would be
hard to miss. The University is expanding and
making room for future generations of Tigers,
who are sure to carry on our traditions and
maybe even start new ones.
In the next few years, the landscape of Clemson
University will change, but Student Affairs’
efforts remain the same. We will continue to
put students first, especially when it comes
to the improvements and new initiatives in
residential living. The division is committed
to providing services and facilities that enrich
each student’s life and improve their experience
at Clemson.
We are excited about the coming changes and
the ability to extend opportunities for growth
and development to even more students. Living
on campus teaches students respect, expands
their support network and allows them to form
relationships that often last well beyond the
years students spend here. We look forward
to seeing our achievements continue to make
Clemson even stronger.
In this issue of experience, you will learn the
history of the Douthit Hills space, including
the University’s historic Clemson House,
the current plans for the Douthit Hills
development project and how it will impact
Clemson students for years to come. You will
also read about fellow Clemson alumni and
their experiences on campus.
The Division of Student Affairs is truly
thankful for the support we have received. We
look forward to seeing our efforts in University
Housing & Dining facilities come to fruition
and hope you are just as eager to see what
is to come at Clemson University.
