Th<\/span>e Stanzione family <\/span>is a Clemson Family to the core. Robert J. \u201cBob\u201d \u201969 and Kaye Stanzione began their married life in Clemson housing, and all three of their children, Marie, Jennifer and Bobby, attended Clemson. But their passion for the University didn\u2019t end with graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stanziones have given back to Clemson for many years. Their most recent philanthropic endeavor is a $2.5 million gift to Clemson\u2019s College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences. The gift includes support for scholarships for CECAS students, unrestricted funds for the Dean\u2019s Excellence Fund and faculty support to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The funds will be crucial for the department\u2019s recruitment and retention of outstanding faculty and providing our students with unique experiences that will prepare them for their future.<\/p>\n

Bob Stanzione put his own engineering degree to good use, eventually growing ARRIS International from a start-up company to the world market leader in cable networking products. He has an understanding and appreciation for the wide spectrum of career opportunities that mechanical engineering affords Clemson students. They create the products we use every day: automobiles, clothing, building products, aircraft and computers. Contributions from mechanical engineers benefit the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that education is the most powerful tool you can use to impact and transform your life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s support of Clemson includes Bob Stanzione\u2019s role as a director of the Clemson University Foundation, including past-chair of the foundation\u2019s investment committee, and his work as an ambassador for the foundation\u2019s Order of the Oak. Kaye Stanzione is an active volunteer and serves on the ClemsonLIFE advisory board. In honor of their support to the College of Education and ClemsonLIFE, Bob and Kaye Stanzione were awarded the Distinguished Friends of the College Award in 2021 during the College of Education\u2019s third annual awards celebration. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kaye Stanzione says, \u201cWe really both strongly feel that education is so important. It\u2019s not just what you learn in class. It\u2019s what you learn about life. We believe that education is the most powerful tool you can use to impact and transform your life.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Stanziones\u2019 support of Clemson, both to the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences and the College of Education, reflects their dedication and commitment to providing exceptional education and experiences to future generations. Bob Stanzione says, \u201cI think we all share a belief that the investments we\u2019re making in students and professors in the University facilities here are going to pay off in a multitude of ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And the family tradition continues. This Fall, the Stanziones will have three grandchildren enrolled here at Clemson \u2014 Emma will be starting her senior year, and Owen and Alex will be first-year students.<\/span><\/p>\n
