Clemson University’s College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences is grounded in the fundamental principle that Clemson University is committed by its land-grant legacy to ensure that higher education remains a public good and that land-grant colleges link their expertise to the needs of the people.
World-class education, research and outreach combine for scientific discoveries of global significance, while partnerships with industry and state and federal agencies foster innovation and provide unique opportunities for faculty and students. Rigorous classroom and experiential learning opportunities are the hallmark of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences curricula which explores plant, animal, human, molecular, food and packaging sciences.
We are grateful to many alumni and friends who have invested resources in CAFLS. Private giving helps ensure that we can provide the highest standard of education in the classroom, engage students in creative and meaningful ways and support faculty in their scientific endeavors as top educators and researchers. Donors can create, sustain and enhance existing programs and new opportunities within the college by providing support for students, faculty, facilities and programs that are most meaningful to the donor.
Your support will be instrumental as CAFLS continues to prepare its graduates for leadership roles in industries essential to the future security and prosperity of South Carolina and this nation.
Whatever type of gift you decide to make, we will work with you to ensure that you, the University and our College earn the greatest benefit. And however you give, we assure you that it will make a difference and have a lasting impact on the students, faculty and programs at Clemson and in the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences.
In order to remain engaged and competitive with our land-grant peer institutions, we must provide critical funds to increase programmatic offerings to our students and faculty, allowing us to provide leadership through innovative education, research and service. We want to provide our students with engaged learning opportunities through internships, service learning, global opportunities and unique programs and research. We want to recruit and retain distinguished scholars to join the tradition of excellence established by our current faculty. These funds allow the Dean to direct resources to these and other critical areas.
