The Clemson University Core Values of Integrity, Honesty, and Respect started as an initiative of members of the Clemson University Undergraduate Student Government to develop a list of values that all students should incorporate in their day-to-day experiences here at Clemson University.

The Office of Community and Ethical Standards is committed to supporting the Clemson Student Government in promoting these values throughout the community. So much so, that encouraging students to take ownership of the Clemson Core Values is reflected in our mission statement, our guiding principles, and our student learning outcomes.
