Our Signature Events
Men of Color National Summit
The Men of Color (MOC) National Summit is an annual conference that works to bridge the opportunity gap and to illuminate pathways after high school for African American/Black and Hispanic/Latinx men of color and their allies by emphasizing the importance of education and inspiring high school and college students to see opportunities for their future.
Founded in 2017, the event has earned a reputation nationally amongst educators, educational institutions, policymakers, government leaders and corporate stakeholders. The impact of the event and its offerings on students, Clemson University stakeholders and higher education in South Carolina has been established, and the program’s reputation is growing in caliber and geographically.
Women's Roundtable
The Women’s Roundtable is a valuable developmental and networking occasion dedicated to recognizing, exploring and supporting the advancement of girls and women, particularly in STEM fields. This event unites participants to highlight the significance of education, self-care and empowerment.

Through this collective effort, the Women’s Roundtable endeavors to foster an inclusive and thriving environment for all.
