The View from Sikes
Thoughts from Clemson University’s President
Persistence and Determination
It is hard to believe that more than a year has passed since we first received news of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Resilience in Challenging Times
Greetings from Clemson! This academic year has been one like no other. But as we begin 2021, I can say that I am incredibly proud to be a part of the Clemson Family.

Celebrating Optimism, Renewal and Generosity in a Changing World
Greetings from Clemson! The beginning of the academic year is always a time of optimism and renewal for me. The class of 2024 joins us this year — most of these incoming students were born just after 9/11, and now, they are beginning college in the midst of a pandemic. They are part of our […]

A Campus of Overachievers
President Clements reflects on the phrase “little old Clemson” and how Clemson students, faculty and staff, and alumni are exceeding expectations.

A Transformative Place
In the midst of all the change, Clemson continues to be a transformative place for students.
