During the past few years, the task force has erected historical markers, documented Clemson founders\u2019 biographies, and updated historical signage to better reflect the complete history.<br \/>\n\u201cOur Trustees\u2019 leadership today sends a clear message that Clemson University intends to be a place where all our students, employees and guests feel welcome,\u201d said President Clements. \u201cOur work in this area is far from finished, but we are committed to building on the progress we have made in the areas of diversity and inclusivity as we strive to serve our entire state and the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Board also requests authority to restore original name of Tillman Hall &nbsp; During their scheduled June meeting, the University\u2019s Board of Trustees approved changing the name of the Honors College to the Clemson University Honors College, effective immediately.
