Ways to Give
Giving to Clemson: The School of Computing
The ability to attract and retain faculty and student talent is key to supporting the college and school's mission to solve society's big problems. Donors to the School of Computing can increase research, innovation, and collaboration by providing support for students, faculty, facilities, alumni programs, and other critical needs in the college.
Your generous donations to the College of Engineering, Computing and Allied Sciences, and in particular to the School of Computing, allow us to provide more resources and opportunities for our students. Thank you for all of the support that helps us gain national recognition in academics and research. To make a contribution or for more information on giving opportunities, please contact Senior Director of Development Doug Gray.

Faculty Funds
The hallmark of a great university is one that nurtures one of its most vital assets - its faculty, who work side-by-side with students and influence industry on a global scale. Being competitive for talent who bring diverse skill sets means the need for annual support to recruit and retain.

SoC Teaching & Technology
Clemson researchers are responsible for remarkable innovation. An institution that fosters the prospects of its researchers and students by committing to modern facilities and infrastructure impresses that it supports discovery and learning initiatives. Private support is critical to that commitment.
