Introduction: Hey! My name is Lee Mikell, and I am a civil engineering major from Columbia, South Carolina. I enjoy the outdoors, hanging with friends, listening to music, and good food.
Ask me about...: Organizations to get involved in, student government, and the best places to eat in Clemson!
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: Even though I am from gamecock country, I grew up a Clemson fan and attended many football games as a kid, so Clemson University was the obvious choice for me. The Honors College provided an opportunity for a big school to seem smaller. The smaller class sizes, unique courses, and numerous benefits are all reasons I am happy that I joined the Clemson Honors College.
My involvement in the Honors College: In addition to being an Honors College Ambassador, I served as a senator for the Honors Residential College during my first year.
My involvement in Clemson University: One of my favorite things about Clemson is the opportunity it presents for students to get involved in many different types of organizatons. I am part of the activities committee for student government, president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, on the Clemson waterski team, and a part of many different clubs, like Habitat for Humanity and the Clemson Hiking Club!
My future goals: I hope to own my own civil engineering firm and travel the world.
