CHRIS PETERS
A class of 1991 financial management major
from Walkersville, Md., Chris Peters spent his
freshman and sophomore years in the heart
of Clemson’s campus, living in Johnstone Hall.
He later moved to the Fraternity Quad.
Peters said one of the best things about living
in these locations was just that — the location.
Johnstone Hall and the Quad were close to
everything: Sirrine Hall and other classrooms,
Harcombe Dining Hall, Clemson Memorial
Stadium and Fike Recreation Center, which
made life on campus very convenient. Peters
said, “Living on campus definitely helped
me get involved in many great student life
activities,” and shared that his best Clemson
experience was being the Tiger Mascot for
three years.
Being involved with Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity,
Central Spirit, the Student Alumni Council,
University Tour guides, Blue Key and Tiger
Brotherhood is proof living on campus helped
to solidify his connection into the life of
Clemson. It also allowed him to form lasting
friendships with his fellow residents that
he maintains to this day. With extra dining
facilities, retail space, new residence halls and
more, Peters said the Douthit Hills project is a
“tremendous thing for Clemson,” and also said
it will be a great use of this valuable land on
campus. Peters continues sharing his love
for Clemson, working with the Clemson
University Foundation.
