National Scholars traveled to Greenland for a unique learning opportunity last summer

Last May, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies Todd Anderson co-led with Kris Fuller ’18, associate director of Clemson University’s National Scholar Program (NSP), a cohort of 14 NSP students on a study abroad trip to Greenland. During the trip, the cohort learned about the region’s fragile ecosystem and observed some of the effects of climate change. Their trip was part of a special Spring 2024 seminar class taught by Anderson called Art and Climate Change in the Arctic.

Since 2000, the NSP at Clemson has strived to develop a community of scholars and leaders by recruiting the nation’s top high school students to the Clemson University Honors College. By offering unmatched experiential learning opportunities to selected Scholars, the program cultivates students into civic and academic leaders at Clemson and beyond.
