Who Gives?

If Clemson students and faculty are the heart of our University, then donors are the backbone. Through the financial support of donors, Clemson is able to attract and retain the best students and faculty and support them as they discover how to change the world.
 
The generosity of our donors has led to scholarships and fellowships, endowed chairs and professorships, programs and centers, and much more. These initiatives’ future — and the success of the Will to Lead campaign — depend on the continuing support of our donors.
 
We invite you to meet some of our featured donors, learn about donor recognition at Clemson and discover how you can make a difference.

Meet Our Donors

Norville

Mitch Norville

Considering the many alternatives for majors as a Clemson student, Mitch Norville ’80 leaned toward engineering at his father’s suggestion. It turned out to be very good advice, and 35 years later Norville has presented a gift to Clemson that will endow an engineering chair in his father’s honor.

Lund

Carl Lund

In 1987, when Carl McHenry Lund Sr. and his wife, Mary, created the Lund Professor of the Year Award Endowment in the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences, their dream was to someday establish a permanent endowed chair position to attract a top researcher and an excellent teacher. Carl Sr. passed away in 2002, but thanks to Mary Lund and their son, Carl Jr. and his wife Scarlett, that dream has become a reality.

Hilliard

Glen Hilliard

Toward a goal of environmental stability, R. Glenn Hilliard '65 and his wife, Heather, have provided Clemson University with a $1 million endowment to teach generations to treasure and manage the dynamic balance between the natural and human-made worlds.
