George B. Hartzog, Jr. Awards and Lecture Series
The Hartzog Fund allows the Department to sponsor two annual activities and one fellow award. The Hartzog Lecture Series in Park and Conservation Area Management was developed to feature leading figures in the field of conservation. In addition to the Hartzog Lecture Series, Clemson University, through the auspices of the Hartzog Fund, has initiated six awards to recognize exemplary leadership in addressing environmental issues and concerns. These are presented at the annual Hartzog Luncheon. The Hartzog Fellow was implemented in 2003 and supports a graduate student doing research in parks associated with the National Park Service.

The US PLAY Coalition
The US PLAY Coalition is a partnership to promote the value of play throughout life. The first play movement started the early 1900's. Now, given the many problems with obesity and other social ills that have occurred with the erosion of play opportunities, it is time to begin the second great play movement. We ask you to help us as we do so. The time has come for all of us to help our children, and citizens regardless of age, create a better life, and ultimately, to make a difference in today's world by making joys and benefits associated with play a reality for all. Reserve these dates for the Conference on the Value of Play ~ February 26 - 29, 2012 to be held at Clemson University's Madren Conference Center.
