"There is something in these hills that brings together and binds together and holds together men and women of all persuasions, of all heights, sizes, weights, and cultural backgrounds- something that cuts across every difference, spans every gap, penetrates every wall- something that makes a man or a woman stand taller, feel better and say with high pride to all within earshot,‘I went to Clemson.’ " -- from "Something in These Hills" by Joe Sherman ‘34, Executive Director, Clemson Alumni Association 1956-77.
You are the newest members of a transcending family which began with one man's dream of an institution within the hills of the Upstate. We've been preparing your arrival to Clemson for over 110 years. Orientation is designed to introduce you to our diverse academic programs, traditions, campus pride and unique ‘family’. During your orientation experience we hope you begin to discover what that something is for you.
The Office of Orientation website features schedules, frequently asked questions, resources for students and parents, as well as, the ability to register for your orientation session. Please take the time to review all the information as it will help with your transition to Clemson.
