READY, SET, ROAR!
The Center for Student Leadership and Engagement
introduced
Ready, Set, Roar!
in the summer of 2022
as a reimagined, in-person Orientation experience to
supplement a student’s virtual introduction to academic
advising and course registration. More than 3,700 new
students and guests took part in the program, which
was held on main campus in June and July. Each two-
day session included a welcome from administration,
focused academic time, campus partner showcases,
special interest sessions and student/guest socials.
WELCOMEWEEK
First-year students had no shortage of opportunities for
both social interaction and introduction to campus life
during Welcome Week 2022, Clemson’s annual period
of acclimation prior to the start of Fall classes. Welcome
Week entails a robust schedule of programs and
activities designed to provide students with involvement
opportunities and foster a sense of belonging at
Clemson. The week included traditional events such as
Convocation, Tiger Prowl and the incoming class photo,
as well as new events like Clemson Leader Day.

New Student Convocation impacted me the most because
hearing from President Clements and the other speakers
made me feel like I would be supported in whatever I do at
Clemson. Their hopes and dreams for us were inspiring.
