Clemson Intersect is a collaborative project between the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences (CECAS), and the Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business to reinforce the relationship between business and the technical degree programs. 
This new initiative aims to demonstrate how the disciplines connect and frequently overlap. It hopes to reinforce the need for partnership and teamwork to address challenges in the future. Key focus areas of the program include Business Analytics, Leadership, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and Value Chain & Advanced Manufacturing.
"Our legacy should be created based on what we do for others, not on how much money we make or how many material things we acquire. We will never know the impact of the ripple effect of our actions and obedience if we sit on the sidelines as spectators."
The business school’s Office of Career and Global Engagement and CECAS' Student Engagement are working together on developing the program. A speaker series will consist of professionals who will highlight trends and best practices from their organizations. Talks will also include how business, engineering, and computing work together to generate a global impact. The initiative will, eventually, expand to offer networking opportunities between students and speakers.
