ANNUAL REPORT
VICE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
CELEBRATING FY23 , LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Student Affairs stakeholders,
FY23 was a transformative year. This spring, the University
launched a bold new strategic plan known as Clemson
Elevate. It is grounded in strategic pillars focusing on
education, research and service. This framework will
guide Clemson for the next 10 years and beyond.
In Student Affairs, we are positioning our resources to
support the very first pillar … delivering the No.1 student
experience. We have revised our vision and mission
statements and aligned our strategic priorities as we aim
to create the preeminent student experience.
As you will see throughout this report, we have enjoyed
incredible success in FY23! Some of the many highlights
we are especially proud of include:
•
Welcoming new students and families into this
institution by way of robust
Ready, Set, Roar!
and
Welcome Week programming
•
Providing students with expanded access to counseling
and psychological care
•
Achieving Military Friendly
®
silver status for a second
consecutive year
•
Surpassing 6,000 affiliated undergraduates for the first
time in Fraternity and Sorority Life
•
Enhancing state-of-the-art facilities at the Snow
Complex with the addition of Davidson and Reed
family fields to expand intramural and club sports
participation
While we are excited about our collective achievements
within Student Affairs over the past year, we also look
strategically toward a brighter future. We will continue
to strengthen the student experience by welcoming
Residential Living and Learning into the division and
embrace holistic development that begins on acceptance
and continues through graduation and beyond.
The Princeton Review ranked Clemson University among
the top 10 nationally in five different categories. While
rankings are not the sole measure we use to assess
effectiveness, they offer validation of how highly
students think of their experience.
Interest in Clemson is at an all-time high and the power of
the Tiger Paw has never been stronger. Ensuring students
are positioned for success inside and outside of the
classroom, both during and after their time at Clemson,
is our ultimate charge. We look forward to continuing this
pursuit of excellence and thank you for your unwavering
support.
Go Tigers!
