The tiger runs deep through Clemson's history. It's a symbol of our pride and our passion.
Just as wild tigers dominate their territory, so too do Clemson Tigers dominate in the classroom and on the playing field. The tiger is at the heart of our pursuit for excellence. It is inspiration for the kind of university we want to be.
Yet, tragically, the tiger is in danger. Professionals estimate that fewer than 5,000 tigers still exist in the wild, and those that remain face an uncertain future.
In response, Clemson has embraced Tigers United University Consortium, an organization composed of Clemson, Auburn University, Louisiana State University and the University of Missouri. The universities are combining their expertise in training, research, technology and communications for a common goal: saving tigers.
As Clemson Tigers, we can't sit back as the few tigers left dwindle down to the point of extinction. We must take a stand alongside our fellow tiger schools to protect our beloved mascot.
