The Employee Emergency Fund is a program to assist employees who are experiencing times of financial hardship due to unexpected, unforeseen, and unavoidable circumstances. Any Clemson University employee, staff or faculty, is eligible to apply for a grant from this fund that has been established through the Clemson University Foundation.

Each year, as part of Military Appreciation Week in November, the Staff Senate hosts a brunch in honor of all active and former military service members attending or working at Clemson.
