Taking on the challenges of a STEM degree at Clemson? Join a community that understands your path. PEER & WISE creates a supportive community designed specifically for students in technical fields where you'll find the resources, connections, and guidance needed to excel.
STEM degrees demand exceptional effort—but with the right support system, you can transform challenges into stepping stones for success. Our program participants consistently report:
- Higher retention rates in technical majors
- Stronger academic performance
- Greater confidence in technical abilities
- Early career advantages through networking and industry connections
Our programs provide essential resources such as mentoring, academic guidance, coaching, tutoring and studying resources to help students thrive in their technical, rigorous majors.
We also offer career development and networking opportunities, connecting students with experienced professionals and industry leaders. By building these meaningful relationships, we equip students with the tools, confidence, and networks they need to succeed both academically and professionally.
For students in our middle and high school outreach programs, you will be able to engage in hands-on experiments, connect with college students passionate about science and engineering, and discover how these fields can lead to meaningful change in the world.
Campus visits provide first-hand insights into what college life is really like - from research laboratories to recreational facilities. Many prospective students worry that STEM subjects might be too difficult, but PEER & WISE demonstrates that with the right support and preparation, you absolutely can succeed in these fields. We provide guidance on relevant coursework, skill development, and preparation strategies for a future in science or engineering at Clemson University.
Cultivating Lasting Connections
Many PEER & WISE participants tell us that what started as academic support evolved into something much more valuable - a professional network and community of peers that will continue supporting your growth long after graduation.
“I went through the summer PEER & WISE Experience my freshman year, and that opened my eyes to a lot of what I didn't know, and being able to give back to PEER something they gave to me means a lot to me. And I know that this program is something that is keeping us here, keeping us graduating at Clemson University and inspiring the next generation of engineers. ”
