About the Campaign

The campaign for an even greater Clemson

The Will to Lead: A Campaign for Clemson is an effort to raise more than $600 million in support of Clemson students and faculty by 2012.
 
Why students and faculty? Because they are at the heart of everything we do at Clemson. Our support for them is vital.
 
None of us can predict the potential unleashed when someone first stares into an electron microscope, sees her sketches transformed into a shelter, hears his first engine design roar to life or watches a patient walk again. Nor can we predict the impact on our economy, our state and, ultimately, our world.
 
Clemson’s past successes tell us we have only begun to tap this potential. Every day, bold thinking turns into breakthroughs thanks to our students and faculty, pioneers whose innovations range from hands-free texting to treatments for cancer to sustainable power sources.
 
Today Clemson finds itself in the enviable position of being poised and ready for even more. We are pursuing greatness, furthering success and transforming ourselves into one of the nation’s best public institutions. We are on the path. We are ready to raise the funds necessary to bring those goals to fruition.

It is our time to lead. Make your campaign gift now.
