Welcome to ClemsonLIFE

A college experience is a part of growing up.

The ClemsonLIFE program at Clemson University is designed for students with intellectual disabilities who desire a postsecondary experience on a college campus.

We Believe:

• Young adults go through a similar development process that requires certain activities, experience and support.
• Young adults must develop skills and an understanding about themselves and the world around them in order to fully participate in society and to become successful, contributing adults.
• Higher education is a vehicle for self-empowerment and access to social networks, employment, and independence.
• Group membership provides essential motivation and support for learning and participation in community life.

Our Mission

ClemsonLIFE offers a collegiate experience that prepares young men and women with intellectual disabilities for competitive employment and independent living through a combination of academic coursework and career exploration.
