Hi! I am Lacey Edgerton, the Director of the Clemson University Summer Scholars Program. I come from a background in student programming and recruitment at the community college level and now love being part of Clemson University and the Summer Scholars Program.
I completed my bachelor’s degree at Wingate University with a concentration in history and criminal justice. I have my master’s degree from Clemson University in the Youth Development Leadership program. I’ve loved being able to connect positive youth development theories and best practices to the camps setting!
When I'm not at camp you can find me trying out a new recipe or cozying up with a good book!

Hi there!
I’m Matt Whinghter, The Clemson Summer Scholars Assistant Director.
Clemson University has a very special place in my heart, and I look forward to sharing that with you. I was part of the football team during my time here, and I graduated with a Marketing degree in 2001 - I even met my wife decades ago right here at Clemson! I’m the proud father of five, which means I know everything or nothing, depending on which child you ask..
I’m excited to bring my years of mentoring and teaching youth, along with my camp experience, to the Clemson Summer Scholars Program. I welcome the opportunity to meet you soon!
Allison Maynard, Day Camps and Weekend Programs Manager
Hey I'm Allison! I grew up in Circleville, OH, spent some time in Buffalo, NY (Go Bills!), and eventually made my way down to Clemson, SC, where I’m currently a Ph.D. candidate in the PRTM department. I work with both the Virtual Reality and Nature Lab and the PARTNER lab, focusing on youth development, program evaluation, camps and out-of-school-time programs, informal and non-formal learning experiences, and immersive virtual technology.
When I’m not busy with school or research, you can find me at home spending time with my fiancé and our dogs, diving into a good book, playing video games, cheering for the Buffalo Bills, or exploring local parks with a hike or a walk.
