When Hayden Willis of Columbia graduated earlier this year, he continued the Willis-Clemson tradition.
His mother, Lynn Lovelace Willis, has two degrees in education; his father, Marsh, has a zoology degree; and his sister, Carter Willis McElveen, has a degree in marketing. Hayden’s is in civil engineering.
Lynn and Marsh met at Clemson in the mid-1970s. She was a prominent student leader and preceded her brother, Oscar Lovelace ’81, in winning Clemson’s Algernon Sidney Sullivan Award for public service.
Hayden’s grandfathers Sam Willis ’50 and Fred Lovelace ’51 are alumni, too.
