Clemson YouTube Channel
Clemson University’s YouTube channel has been reorganized to help give you access to all the latest Clemson-related videos. The channel is managed by the Clemson Marketing Services Department, with the goal of including all University, college, departmental and alumni-related videos. In order to continue to build an expansive library, we need your help in gathering all existing and future Clemson videos.
Only official and approved Clemson University, college, departmental and administrative unit videos, or select videos approved by the CNMT, will be posted to Clemson’s YouTube Channel. The channel will serve as a key promotional tool for your college or department, receiving thousands of views every month. Additionally, once videos are uploaded, they can be embedded on Clemson Web sites and Facebook pages.
This is an example of how videos on YouTube can be embedded on University pages.
Please help us to develop Clemson’s YouTube channel by submitting your Clemson-related videos.
