Emeritus College Speakers' Bureau

The Clemson University Emeritus College charged the Community Outreach Committee to develop opportunities for our retired faculty to share their knowledge and passions with our community. The Committee quickly assigned high priority to the establishment of a speakers' bureau. Many organizations devote a position to identifying and organizing programs for their members. Professional, engaging presentations are invaluable to organizations in increasing the engagement of their members.

We envision the speakers' bureau's roles to include:

1) facilitation of opportunities for emeriti to connect with a broad clientele, including community organizations, non-profit organizations, educators and agencies to share the comprehensive knowledge base and expertise of our over 800 emeriti; and

2) to enhance the awareness by clientele groups around the State of the opportunity to strengthen their programs with various presentation topics that they can access from the Emeritus College.

All EC speakers' bureau presenters will adhere to the Clemson University Faculty Manual policies for Academic Freedom and Expression. Please view the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Information from the Clemson University Faculty Manual.
