Who Gives?
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
Mike Gill
Mike Gill came to Clemson from Baltimore in the fall of 1968 on a baseball scholarship, playing under Coach Bill Wilhelm. Today, he and his wife, Mary, support the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts with a generous endowment. Perhaps the connection between baseball and the Brooks Center is not readily apparent, but then Clemson has a way of bringing people and ideas together in unexpected ways.
Zucker Family
Charleston businesswoman and philanthropist Anita Zucker and her family have made a $5 million Will to Lead gift to help build the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center at the Clemson University Restoration Institute, creating a focal point to drive the state's economy and a place for students, university faculty and staff and private industry to interact.
Watt Family
A $5.5 million gift from Charles Watt, a man described by President Barker as “relentlessly curious,” and his family will transform the way Clemson students learn, and create a new academic center of the University. Their generous gift will establish the Watt Family Innovation Center for academic collaboration and student engagement.
