The heart of Clemson University’s DNA is its determined spirit – a drive to excel, a desire to make a difference, a love of competition, and a sense of unity, family and community that unites us and drives our progress.

In fact, the very foundation of the University rests on Thomas Green Clemson’s tenacity and single-minded pursuit of his and his wife Anna’s dream – a dream of a college, a “high seminary of learning,” that could transform South Carolina’s devastated post-Civil War economy through scientific education and research.
