“What’s been the most important is probably the things that I have learned from doing all this research, like the tools I’ve been able to pick up but also specifically the confidence that I now have in myself to take on projects and ideas.”

Recruiting and supporting diverse Tigers

Each day at Clemson offers new opportunities to learn from people with differing perspectives, talents and dreams. We’re recruiting, connecting and championing a diverse student body by establishing college access pipelines for underrepresented populations in South Carolina and plugging all of our students into the on-campus programs and services that will see them through graduation and beyond.

More than 31 on-campus programs and initiatives support a culture that celebrates diversity and prioritizes inclusivity at Clemson, earning us INSIGHT Into Diversity’s Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award.

Groups such as the CONNECTIONS Living-Learning Community, departments such as the Office of Inclusion and Equity and the Harvey and Lucinda Gantt Multicultural Center, organizations such as the National Pan-Hellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Council Chapters, and programs like PEER and WISE help our students thrive academically and socially.

Emerging Scholars and Tiger Alliance are two programs through which students from South Carolina’s economically disadvantaged areas and African American, Latino and Hispanic young men are empowered to pursue higher education with academic enrichment services, mentorship and more.
