CAFLS Alumni Board
The College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences Alumni board is made up of 24 alumni that represent the diversity of majors and students in the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences. The board is actively involved in many of our CAFLS events and activities hosted throughout the year.
In addition, the board takes an active role in supporting and directing our fundraising events: Clays for CAFLS, CAFLS Golf Tournament and CAFLS Tailgate.
We are always seeking new alumni interested in a position on the board, please don't hesitate to reach out to Paula Beecher for more information.
“Clemson University has been a special place to me since I attended in the late 70s and early 80s. Professors like Dr. Roy Ogle took an interest in me and helped prepare me for an amazing career at Pennington Seed/Central Garden & Pet. I recently semi-retired and moved back to Seneca SC where I can be close to Clemson and this beautiful area. There truly is something in these hills. I am proud that Clemson is a family affair for my family with my great niece completing her freshman year this spring at Clemson. She will be the 14th member of our family to be a Clemson graduate. I have enjoyed serving on the CAFLS Alumni Board this past few years and am excited to serve as president. Go Tigers! ”
