'55 Exchange

Where Tradition Flavors the Future! The '55 Exchange is a student-run business enterprise that designs, manufactures, sells, and serves Clemson’s world-famous ice cream, shakes, coffee chillers, fresh cold brew coffee, smoothies, and other Clemson products like blue cheese and t-shirts. Made possible by a generous gift from the Class of 1955 all revenues generated through this student-led entrepreneurial center go to support Clemson students and their academic and professional training.

Handcrafted by College Students™

Our ice cream is made by students at Clemson that have a passion for good food. From flavor creation to scooping your pints, students have had their hands on every step of making Clemson's yummiest ice cream and frozen desserts. Crafted with you in mind, our bold and adventurous Wild Tiger™ signature flavors are an expression of the enduring Clemson Spirit while our Classic Original flavors represent our Agricultural Heritage and the Clemson Family!

“As the student manager for Special Projects, I gained a greater understanding of how the food science field actually works – not just head knowledge and facts from a classroom, but real understanding that comes from in-person experience. Crisis management, time sensitivity, and critical decision-making can’t be taught in a classroom, but I learned all of these things through my responsibilities at the ’55 Exchange.”
