AClemson honors education is based on three

pillars educational opportunities in the

classroom; programs fostering intellectual

and cultural engagement; and a strong sense of

community among honors students, staff and

faculty.

The honors classroom experience features top

professors interacting with outstanding students insmall classes. We put a premium on sparking the

students intellectual curiosity and on teaching by

discussion, group activities and research. We offer

courses in virtually every discipline on campus, as

well as over 20 specialized honors seminars every

semester.

Outside the classroom, we encourage students to

expand continually their intellectual and cultural horizons.

We offer free tickets to campus concerts, plays and other

performances. We sponsor lectures in a wide range of

disciplines, offer Pizza and Politics discussion events, and

provide our students with countless opportunities to get to

know interesting, important and inuential people from

every walk of life. We encourage our students to studyand travel abroad and to take advantage of internship

opportunities both close to home and around the world.

All of these formal and informal activities are

supported by a strong honors community. Many of our

students live in Holmes Hall, the Honors College living

and learning community, and all of our students can

take advantage of the Honors Activities Center, which is

open 24/7 for studying, relaxing and engaging in honors

activities. The honors faculty and staff are always available

to advise and mentor students, and we support a number of

formal and informal peer mentoring programs.

All of this adds up to the Clemson Honors College

experience an education built on and extending the

extraordinary strengths of Clemson as a university anda community. Thanks for being a part of the Calhoun

Honors College!

cleMson Debate teaM e

national chaMpionshipby Crystal Bennett

As a group of 15 Clemson students found out, debate is more than just

making your point and proving that youre right. Debate is academic. It

research-based. And its hard, rewarding work.

In its rst year, Clemsons debate team won the National Education

Debate Associations (NEDA) national tournament. Quite a feat for a grou

of students who in August didnt know what debate was.

At its simplest form, debate is making a point from a perspective you

believe to be true. But a debate team doesnt really get to choose a side.

They must research and debate for and against a given subject.

You have to defend the other side whether you believe in it or not.

The world is not black and white; theres plenty of gray, said Jenny Tumas

a junior double major in communications studies and political science. In

our careers were not always going to agree with others, but if you can see

the merit in someones opinion understand that gray area thats when

you become an effective communicator.

Communications studies faculty member and team coach Lindsey

Dixon agrees.Several members of the national award-winning debate teamwere members of the Calhoun Honors College, including

Gabrielle Norris, Cameron Eagles and Jenny Tumas.

Essentially these students think critically for a hobby,

she said. And they work hard at it.

At least six hours a week are spent in meetings and

practice sessions, and that doesnt include the hours students

spend researching topics and reading and studying each

others research. And thats on top of their regular classes.

My students just worked so hard. I have been involvedwith debate for the past ve years and I can say without a

doubt that these students are some of the most dedicated,

passionate and talented I have ever come across, said Dixon,

who herself exudes passion for debate and critical thinking.

While this is the rst time this team has competed,

debate isnt new to Clemson. In fact its the oldest inter-

collegiate activity at the University, although changes in the

last decade meant the team had a much different purpose.

Debate really creates a much more engaged student.

We research diverse topics for weeks at a time, and in the end

that creates a much more engaged, knowledgeable citizen.

And thats really what we want, Dixon said.

Team members credit Dixon for inspiring them and

keeping their focus on their Clemson team rst, their team

partners second and themselves third.

I tend to be pretty argumentative, but my debate

partner, Cameron Eagles, really showed me that you donthave to be pushy to be an effective debater, Tumas said.

Hes a laid-back partner and approaches debate more as a

conversation.

In a couple of years these team members will take

these skills into their careers, but since the majority of this

group are freshmen, they still have time to craft their debate

and research skills. Since theyve already won the national

tournament, expectations for their success are high.

Its my understanding that throughout NEDA

history, a single debate program has never constituted a

new team, hosted the national tournament and won that

tournament in the same year until now, said Karyn Ogata

Jones, chair of the communication studies department.

These accomplishments speak volumes to the leadership

and talents of our program director (Dixon) and the quality

and dedication of students we have here at Clemson

University.

I can say without a doubt that these studentsare some of the most dedicated, passionateand talented I have ever come across, saiddebate team adviser Lindsey Dixon.

have priority access to the Universitys

course registration system and register or

classes along with seniors during the earliest

days o preregistration. This allows honors

students to ft one or more honors courses

into their class schedules and to register or

specialized and advanced courses appropriate

to their courses o study.

eXtenDeD library privileges. Calhoun

Honors College students are allowed to check

out library materials or an extended period

o time. Also, honors students may check out

certain materials that normally are not allowed

to leave the library. Under the Universitys

library loan policy, honors students are treated

the same as graduate students.

w d k k d?Kk:I enjoy the entire experience of working with honors students, but probably my

favorite thing is the one-on-one time I get with them. Thats one reason I like supervising

honors theses. As much as I would like to believe that students will remember what I taught

them in class 10 years from now, thats probably less likely than that they will remember the

type of relationship I had with them. Thats why mentoring is so important to me. Working

with honors students is one of the primary ways in which I feel I can effectively mentor

students. Additionally, honors students are so motivated that our interactions are much morecollaborative than just teacher-student. That makes the common goal that we are working

toward much more of a joint endeavor. Its quite an honor to work with honors students.

Lindsey Sporrer enrolled in my H201 class her rst semester in college. She was an

exceptionally bright student who offered such great insights into discussions that we had in

class. As the semester continued, I learned that Lindseys mother was dying of Lou Gherigs

disease. Although we talked on a regular basis about this, Lindseys academic performance

never faltered. Her mother died the last week of classes that semester.

Yet, Lindsey still took her nal and not only made an A but had one of the highest

averages in the class. More than that, though, the class wanted to show their support for her.

They got her a card and wrote notes to her on it. I read the card and was so moved by the

impact that this one student had had on an entire class of students in an entire semester. Iunderstood, though, because she had had the same impact on me. The following semester

and every semester after until she graduated (except when she studied abroad), Lindsey

worked on my H498 research team. She was such a strong contributor to the team. I actually

had Lindsey and another honors student, Erin Hunter, help me with the revision of a

textbook. They even met with the publishers marketing representative. I sat there at lunch

in awe as Lindsey offered all sorts of marketing suggestions not only for this book but for

other books that Wiley was publishing. For all of my involvement with Lindsey, she wasnt

even a psychology major. She was a business major getting a minor in psychology.

I think Lindsey learned by working with me and other team members. But, to be

honest, we are the ones who learned from her. Not just intellectually, but by her example

as well. I think thats what makes a student a good honors student. Certainly they are

expected to excel academically, but they also need to be involved in campus activities where

they can set life examples for others. Lindsey did just that. I have shared Lindseys story

with countless people to this day (she graduated a few years ago), and I can tell you that she

continues to inuence people, as an ideal honors student would be expected to do.

w d cm d c

h c?Kk: The Honors College experience is very unique because of smaller class sizes, unique

opportunities and the chance to really get to know faculty. I always think of the Honors

College as literally like a small college within a much larger one. The same benets that would

come from attending a smaller college can be found from enrolling in the honors college.

w d d d

, d cm?Kk:While they are students, honors students need to avail themselves of all of the

opportunities they have at their disposal. Take advantage of Creative Inquiry teams. Do

an honors thesis. Spend time with faculty. These are all opportunities that will help lay a

foundation for their future. Once they graduate, they will have established relationships

with faculty and peers that will last a lifetime.

Studies major

Charlotte, N.C.

Creating a water storage and purication

system, developing solar food hydrators,

designing a playground that can generate

electricity. All of these tasks have something in

common and no, they are not from a science

ction novel. These projects are international

initiatives that Clemsons chapter of Engineers

Without Borders (EWB) has led in the past

few years.

We work on a wide range of projects,

said Chris Hapstack, vice president of EWB.

Hapstack has been involved with Engineers

Without Borders for three years and has spent

his junior year in a leadership position for

the program. I have enjoyed the hands-on

work with EWB, but now Im more on the

administrative side of things.

Engineers Without Borders is a national

organization with more than 250 chapters atnearly 200 campuses nationwide. Over the

course of the semester, we design engineering-

based community improvement projects for

developing countries, Hapstack said. Then,

during the winter and summer, a group of

students travels to that country to build the

device we have been working on.

Currently, the members of EWB are

focused on an initiative to test water sources.

The Nicaraguan community that EWB is

aiding, called La Pintada, does not have enough

clean water to provide for the people of the

town. We want to implement water testing to

help people nd clean water sources and prevent

them from getting sick, said Hapstack.

Last year, Hapstack was part of an EWB

group that traveled to Nicaragua. I had never

been to a developing country before. It was very

eye-opening, he said. Hapstack and his team

built a playground in La Pintada for a local

school. After completing the task, the school

saw record-high attendance numbers. We

worked on the project all semester, so it was cool

to see everything come together, he said.

But EWB is not limited to engineering

majors. Our membership is larger than

ever, and we are seeing more members

from other majors, said Hapstack. Ourincoming president is actually a language and

international health major.

Hapstack is excited about the programs

expansion and encourages all students to get

involved. Engineers Without Borders allows

members to be as involved as they want you can

travel and do some really intense work, or you

can be a part of project teams that are less time

consuming. There are a lot of ways to help.

cleMson researchers anDstuDents assist scDot

The South Carolina Department o Transportation (SCDOT) has turned

to Clemson University water quality researchers to help ensure that it

meets uture ederal requirements to limit the discharge o pollutants

rom construction sites.Researchers in Clemsons School o Agricultural, Forest and

Environmental Sciences (SAFES) will measure the turbidity or clarity

o stormwater runo at active SCDOT construction sites and investigate

the eectiveness o its stormwater runo protocols.

They then will help design improved passive sediment-control solutions,

including high-tech polymers, clariying agents and coagulants, and

engineer recommendations or creating outlets that withdraw surace water

resulting rom draining basins or impoundments during the construction

process.

Suspended solids rom construction site runo have been shown

to cause signifcant environmental impact, including transporting heavy

metals, toxic substances and biological pollutants to nearby waters, leadingto poor water quality and fsh kills.

This research will

not only help the SCDOT

meet or exceed uture

ederal guidelines, but it

will also result in improved

overall water quality or

South Carolinians, said

Charles Privette, associate

proessor o agricultural

and biological engineering

at Clemson.As part o the research project, a Creative Inquiry team o

undergraduate students will establish and operate an erosion-prevention

and sediment-control acility on the Clemson campus. It will allow

researchers to conduct controlled feld experiments into the eectiveness o

commonly used stormwater runo and sediment-control practices on SCDOT

construction projects and help improve those practices. The three-year study

is unded by a $498,000 ederal grant.

Creative Inquiry is a unique program that gives Clemson University

undergraduate students the opportunity to work on research projects

that span disciplines and multiple semesters. Students work in teams

with aculty mentors, take ownership o their projects and take the risks

necessary to solve problems and get answers. Creative Inquiry participants

develop critical thinking skills, learn to solve problems and hone their

communication and presentation skills. The program is open to honors and

non-honors students.

With graduation approaching, Hapstack

plans to join the workforce and eventually

go to business school. However, Hapstack

is condent that the time spent crunching

numbers for engineering has given him a

huge advantage. My experience with the

engineering program has provided me with a lot

of technical know-how that is necessary for any

industrial company, he said. Id love to work

internationally for a company, but later I might

want to shift into a project management role.

Either way, EWB has opened a lot of doors.

Hapstack is also involved in other

extracurricular activities at Clemson. He is

president of the leadership honors society

Omicron Delta Kappa, a member of Clemson

Blue Key, and a part of the Calhoun Honors

College and the National Scholars Program.

But despite his heavy commitment to otheractivities, EWB has been a key part of his time

at Clemson.

You have classes, lectures even group

projects but it doesnt mean as much until you

do something that has real-world application,

said Hapstack. And thats exactly what EWB

has given me.

Undergraduates, graduate students

and young proessionals participate

in this three-week experience. Here

are some quotes rom students who

have participated in the study-abroad

experience.

Ater spending three incredible weeks

in Reggio Emilia, Italy, observing the

teaching methods and culture, I have

discovered there are many dierences

between the growth and development o

inants and toddlers attending Reggio-

Approach schools and inants and

toddlers attending American schools.

Madeline M., Clemson

The teachers in Reggio Emilia use the

environment to show how one can use

space to produce the best results or the

childs learning. Physically, the way the

teachers place structures, activities and

objects is meant to enhance the childs

problem-solving and discovery skills.

Every detail is taken into consideration

when decorating a room, such as the

colors in the room, the urniture shapes

and the arrangement o all the objects on

tables or shelves. They use the concept

o light to showcase the childrens work

through weavings or collages by placing

the works in the windows so the sunlight

shines through them. Along with paying

attention to detail, they make the rooms

very personal by using the students

names around the room, and when

sending a message to a student, the

teachers make a little box with the childs

name on it.

Katherine C., Clemson

collaborative prograMtaKes stuDents to

In the summer of 2007, the rst S.C. Collaborative Study-Abroad

Experience to Reggio Emilia, Italy, was initiated with 12 students from

Clemson, the University of South Carolina and the College of Charleston.

Six years later, this Maymester cultural immersion trip is providing a

meaningful and memorable experience for undergraduate and graduateeducation majors. To date, more than 120 S.C. students and a dozen faculty

members have participated. While most of the students have come from S.C.

colleges and universities, students from universities in other states also have

participated. The program is open to Clemsons honors and non-honors

students.

g sd-ad exThis study-abroad experience was developed with these goals:

Provide a cultural immersion experience in Italy that includes living with

Italian host families, traveling in groups and individuals in northern

Italy and exploring the cultural differences between schools in Italy andthe U.S.

Introduce students to the schools of northern Italy including

preschools implementing the Reggio Emilia Approach and give them

the opportunity to shadow and observe the students and teachers

Engage students in beginning Italian language lessons and in workshops

with community agencies such as the Malaguzzi Center, the ReMida

Recycling Center and the University of Reggio Emilia that broaden

the students understanding of early education, creative curricula and

innovative instructional strategies

Psychology

Bluton, S.C. Recent Clemson graduate Raven Magwood believes that dedication,

determination and discipline are the sources to her success. She holds a

calm and quiet demeanor in the classroom, but that just barely taps the

surface of who this young woman is and what she has done in only 19 years.

This Greenville natives notoriety began on a gymnastics mat. It took

six strenuous hours of practice per day to win the 2004 U.S. Association of

Independent Gymnastics Clubs Inc. Championship at age 11. By 12, she had

published her rst book and entered high school. Magwood was always looking

for more of a challenge, so she took college courses and graduated early.

At 16, she followed in her parents footsteps to

Clemson University, although she had received letters

from many Ivy League schools. Magwood entered

Clemsons Calhoun Honors College and began pre-

med, but a conversation with her mother altered her

career path.

She asked me if someone would pay me to do

anything, what would I do? I told her that I would

speak and write, Magwood said. With her parents

support, she changed her major to communication

studies.

By this time, her motivational speaking was

gaining a lot of attention. I got a little taste of being

important as a speaker and touching peoples lives,

and I liked that, Magwood said. Her speeches revolve

around the 3 Ds in an effort to inspire others toward

reaching their potential.

Her determination, discipline and dedication to

succeed are almost tangible. As she has gotten older,

Magwood has found that her motivation relies less on

her supportive parents and more so on herself. What

helps her most is setting small, short-term goals that

build up to a big, long-term goal. Whats Magwoods

ultimate goal? To make an impact on others lives

while becoming a notable businesswoman.

Halfway through college, Magwood made a bold

decision to take time off to host her own television

show, The Raven Magwood Show, which aired

Saturday mornings on My 40. She interviewed

celebrities, including Alveda King (Martin Luther

King Jr.s niece), actress Porscha Coleman and former

Clemson football player Stanley Hunter. After a year

and a half of lming, Magwood decided it was best

to go back to Clemson and nish her degree beforejumping into a full-blown career.

While completing her Clemson study, Magwood

attended classes during the week and spent most

of her weekends traveling the country to speak and

promote her third and latest book, The 7 Practices

of Exceptional Student Athletes. During her travels,

Magwood always seemed to run into famous people.

I signed a copy of my book for Michelle Obama. I

felt like I should have had her sign it for me, she said.

Her most recent accomplishment was creating

the Student Athlete Pledge, which encourages

student-athletes to reach their potential both in

athletics and in the classroom. She is planning a

fundraiser to support the pledge.

Beyond all of the straight As and busy

weekends, Magwood still made room for playing on

an intramural ag football team and hanging out

with her friends.

My college experience has been different, but

I wouldnt trade it for anything, she said.

Magwood has accomplished more by age 19

than some will accomplish in a lifetime, but she says

that this is just the beginning. Magwood graduated

from Clemson in December 2012, nishing college

in just four semesters. She plans to continue

speaking and writing. Moreover, one of her current

aspirations is to make a name for herself in the

movie industry. She is currently writing a screenplay

that is to be completed in the near future.

If there is a $100 million movie release, I want

them to say that Raven Magwood wrote it, she said.

This young woman is bursting with ambition.

Not only do her speeches inspire, but so do her

presence and life story. Her advice to others is

simple: Its key to set goals. When times get tough

for me, my goals show me what Im working so hardfor and where I want to be.

She has reached all of her goals thus far, so it

will be fun to follow her in the coming years, as she

is adamant to capture even more of her dreams.

Even though she has a gentle nature and humble

spirit, Magwood is much more than meets the

eye. As she keeps determination, discipline and

dedication close at hand, she will be ready to hit the

ground running.

Whats Magwoods ultimate goal? To makean impact on others lives while becominga notable businesswoman.

engineering stuDent worKs to builD a

Honors Biochemistry

major

Rock Hill, S.C.

Honors senior Ross Beppler spent the summer of his

sophomore year researching and reforming renewable

energy policy in Washington, D.C. His leadership roles

and involvement in the Calhoun Honors College helped

translate his experiences in the classroom to the national

stage as Ross worked closely with engineers and politicians

to improve the current energy policies in the U.S.

I have always been interested in renewable and

sustainable energy, but I did not know what I wanted

to do with that, said Beppler, an electrical engineering

major from Johns Creek, Ga. When I took the honors

sustainability course, it versed me in some of the issues

facing renewable energy and energy efciency. The course

introduced me to the idea of energy efciency and sparked

my interest in the eld.

Beppler enjoyed the honors sustainability class so

much that he joined a Creative Inquiry project with Leidy

Klotz, Ph.D. It was a really great course. Part of it involvedlearning the material, and part was project-based. Prof.

Klotz is a really cool guy, and I enjoyed working with him,

Beppler said. When he told the class about his Creative

Inquiry project, I was excited about the chance to learn

more about renewable energy.

Klotz and Beppler worked closely beginning Bepplers

sophomore year to examine energy efciency in buildings.

Even though Prof. Klotz is an assistant civil engineering

professor, and I am studying electrical engineering, I was ab

to get an idea of energy efciency from another perspective,

which is when my interest in energy policy started, Beppler

said. Their Creative Inquiry project, Examining the Effects

of Status Quo Bias on Building Efciencies, focused on

how peoples biases affect their energy decisions.

After two semesters of research, Prof. Klotz ultimately

recommended Beppler for a summer internship in

Washington, D.C., through the Washington Internships

for Students of Engineering (WISE). Beppler was a part

of a smaller professional organization called the Institute

of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Within

IEEE, Beppler worked with the policy division to advise on

science and technology policy issues. He was responsible

for representing IEEE members to legislators who come up

with the energy policies.

I saw a different side of things in D.C. It was cool

to see the connection between government and industry,Beppler said. I spent my time meeting with ofcials from

the Department of Energy and researching energy policies,

he said.

Bepplers nal requirement was a paper outlining

his research and recommendations to the current energy

policy. I never realized the politics behind energy policy,

and Im thankful for the opportunity to get a taste of

politics and the D.C. experience.

Bepplers undergraduate research and internship

have made a lasting impact on him. This experience has

changed my whole career path. I want to work in energy

policy rather than working for an engineering rm.

During his time at Clemson, Beppler has taken full

advantage of the opportunities presented to him by the

Calhoun Honors College.

The door is always open, and their goal is for you to

succeed. Most importantly, the Honors College wants all of

its students to be happy, Beppler said. He tells prospective

students to look for schools that have the most to offer.

Clemsons Honors College immediately provided me with

a network of people that I can talk to and have something

in common with, he said. The smaller honors community

within Clemson is able to provide personalized attention to

all honors students to ensure they succeed and reach their

full potential.

Beppler completed his undergraduate research and

summer internship, but he continues to look for new ways

to get involved and ll leadership roles around campus.Recently, he joined Student Government and serves as the

director of research and development.

I get to do a little bit of everything, he said. People

come to me with questions, and it is my job to gure them

out. Bepplers duties include researching what works well

for other schools and trying to implement that at Clemson.

The ultimate goal is to be a top 20 public university. I

get to see what we do well and what we can improve on,

Beppler said. I have to represent the student feedback to the

administration to get funding for projects and events.

The Calhoun Honors College wants to see its students

pursue their dreams and passions much like Beppler has

done. The faculty and staff are dedicated to their students

and are always more than happy to help and work with

honors students. The small size of honors classes fosters

interaction between students and faculty that form

mentoring relationships like the one between Beppler and

Prof. Klotz. This provides a small-college feel at a large

university for honors students.

Education is not the only priority in the HonorsCollege. Beppler likes to remind students that they should

have a life outside of the classroom. He gives back to the

community by coaching a youth soccer team through the

YMCA. Those two hours a week at soccer practice are so

much fun and get my mind off of my school work. And the

kids are so much fun, Beppler said. Im so glad I chose to

come to the Honors College at Clemson. They genuinely

want you to be happy and do what you are passionate about.

The door is always open in the HOnors College, andtheir goal is for you to succeed. Most importantly, theHonors College wants all of its students to be happy,Beppler said.

bringing the realworlD to stuDents

Professor Vladimir Matic is not your typical

college professor. He draws on his experience as

the assistant federal minister for foreign affairs

of the former Yugoslavia in order to provide unique

insight, teaching courses on international relations

and foreign policy. He is able to connect teachingwith practice, which provides a valuable perspective

for students.

Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Matic received

degrees in legal institutions and government and in

law from the University of Belgrade. He joined the

foreign service, with assignments in Ethiopia and

Washington, D.C. Within the Ministry of Foreign

Service, Matic was responsible for the activities of

hundreds of diplomats, as well as providing advice to

the government and the president. With the rise of

autocratic rule under Slobodan Milosevic and the

subsequent ethnic cleansing, Matic was faced with

a moral dilemma and realized he could no longer

support the regime.

After resigning his position in the ministry

in 1993, Matic spent several years traveling andlecturing. In 1996, he delivered an address at

the Strom Thurmond Institute, and he was

subsequently asked by the chair of Clemsons

Department of Political Science to develop a

course focusing on the disintegration of Yugoslavia

and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He

accepted, beginning his relationship with Clemson

University.

His close interaction with the American

political system has allowed him to develop a uniqu

program for students to see rsthand how foreign

policy is created and implemented during a Spring

Break trip to Washington, D.C.

The courses Prof. Matic enjoys most are the

honors courses because these students do not

necessarily need the course for their major; they ar

just thoroughly interested in the topic. They alwa

do the readings and even ask for more readings,

Matic observed. When we have discussions,

everyone has something to say. This is what

motivates an instructor.

Matics experience, background and perspectiv

also make for an engaging class experience forhis students. Recent honors graduate and 2013

Fulbright Scholar Dorothy Behre had a study

experience with Prof. Matic that led her to alter her

career plans. During my freshman year, the Honor

Border Crossings Seminar with Prof. Matic was not

only intensely informative and fun, the program

studied Chinese for six weeks during the

summer after my freshman year, she said.Being able to study abroad during my rst

summer as a Clemson student was a pivotal

experience for me. It inspired me to double

major in Chinese and become president

of Clemsons Chinese Language Club. My

time in China also intensied my interest

in foreign policy and global affairs, and

this made me realize that the world is vast

and complex, but also interconnected in

beautifully fascinating ways.

and concepts they have learned, as well

as their imagination, to connect it all.

Through these simulations, students canfully understand why progress is slow in

relations between foreign countries.

Although teaching was not Matics

original career path, he has come to love

the job. He enjoys working with highly

motivated students and likes to spot

those with great potential. Matic has even

organized yearly summer study-abroad

programs in Serbia, Montenegro and

Bosnia, which immerse the students in

local culture and allows them to obtain

college credit at the same time. Their

enthusiasm and success are my reward,

Matic said.

Honors Genetics and Biochemistry major

Charlotte, N.C.

The Calhoun Honors College collaborated with the

Pearce Center for Professional Communication and theWriting Center to launch the Writing Fellows Program

in 2012 with the goal of strengthening honors students

writing and presentation skills. Several honors seminars

have embedded Writing Fellows, upperclass students who

work one-on-one with students in the classes to review and

offer suggestions for revisions to their projects.

In its pilot year, the Writing Fellows were assigned

to specic honors courses to work with their peers in

developing and implementing arguments for the students

class papers. The collaboration among the students and the

Writing Fellows provides an environment in which studentscan openly exchange ideas and challenge each other to

think beyond the classroom.

The Writing Fellows Program is unlike anything Ive

done at Clemson, said Writing Fellow Haley Nieman,

an honors communication studies major from Canal

Winchester, Ohio. We have amazing leadership, and I

love spending time speaking with students to improve their

writing process and academic papers. Students always seem

nervous at rst but usually leave the meeting smiling and

excited to revise their papers.

Entering its second year, the Writing Fellows Program

has built bridges between students and faculty to foster an

intellectually stimulating environment and will expand this

environment to the Writing Center next year.

The Pearce Center also offers an internship program

for students interested in publishing and communications.

The program offers professional development for students

as accompaniment to their academics to give students the

Ms eXpanD sKills

tools they need to succeed upon graduation. The interns

are presently working on Deciphermagazine, which featuresthe Creative Inquiry projects in which Clemson students

are involved in addition to their usual studies. The interns

lead the entire project, from interviewing faculty and

writing the articles to designing the magazines layout,

which provides many opportunities to explore the various

aspects of publishing and professional communications.

Honors student Jessica Heron likes the benets. My

internship has provided me with opportunities to work

with faculty, students and other clients on projects such as

the Decipherarticles and layouts, as well as iers for various

speaker series, Jessica said. I believe this internship has

provided me with a competitive edge that will make me

more valuable to future employers.

Both the Writing Fellows Program and the internship

program in the Pearce Center allow students to delve into

the professional world before completing their education.

They gain hands-on experience in working with their peers,

faculty and clients to improve their communications skills

and develop novel ideas. These two programs furnish

honors students with new competencies that will aid them

in whatever professional environment they choose.

The collaboration among the students and theWriting Fellows provides an environment in

which students can openly exchange ideas andchallenge each other to think beyond the classroom.

honors acaDeMic activities center. While honors enrichment activities take

place across campus, the Honors Academic Activities Center serves as the

hub o the honors community. Many honors courses are taught in the center;

honors sta hold drop-in advising hours there; and all honors students may

access the space in the lower level o Holmes Hall 24/7 to meet, study and

relax with riends.

holMes hall. Nearly 300 honors students live in Holmes Hall, a fve-story

residence hall devoted to honors students. This nationally recognized living-

learning community includes specialized programs developed by honors

resident advisers and a aculty-in-residence who lives in the building, oering

dedicated mentoring to residents and planning intellectually enriching

activities.

honors Mentors. New honors students are paired with honors mentors, older

students who provide peer guidance on being successul at Clemson, both in

and out o the classroom.

More than half of the Calhoun Honors Colleges

students major in one of the disciplines in the

College of Engineering and Science (CES). Beginnin

in the fall of 2013, these students have another location to

enhance their out-of-class learning.

CES is introducing the re-imagined Residents in

Science and Engineering (RiSE) living-learning communit(LLC) for incoming CES freshmen. The program is a

partnership between University Housing and Dining and

CES. RiSE was created in 2005 as an outgrowth of the

Universitys First Class LLC. Both U.S.News & World

Report and the National Study of Living-Learning Program

have recognized Clemson for outstanding LLCs. The new

RiSE concept builds on Clemsons established national

reputation.

In 2012, the RiSE program included 260 students

housed in two of the Shoebox residence halls: Geer and

Sanders. In the fall of 2013, RiSE expanded to include 396

students, which reects growing interest in this unique

residential community. RiSE is now the largest LLC on

campus, doubling in size since the program was created.

RiSE administrators experimented with a number of

different staff models to support students. The optimum

structure includes the RiSE coordinator, faculty director,

a graduate assistant, a team of 12 tutors and 18 resident

assistants. This structure leads to higher exam grades in

clustered courses, higher retention rates than non-RiSE

students and a lower percentage of students on academic

probation.

The CES Academic Advising Center is also located inLever Hall, which provides convenient access to academic

advisers, another benet of this community. The RiSE

program faculty director is selected from within CES.

This faculty member provides programing and mentoring

for residents. All of these new features are part of the

innovative vision for RiSE that goes beyond traditional

tutoring services and programming. The RiSE experience

r rseis built upon four learning curriculum cornerstones:

academic preparedness, professional development,

interpersonal development and community engagement.

Randy Collins, associate dean of undergraduate and

international studies in CES, is a program advocate. I

am so excited about the expansion of our RiSE program

and that we can accommodate nearly 50 percent morestudents who want to live and learn in this unique

environment. The opportunity created by the partnership

between the college and housing, which will enable our

advising center and faculty to have ofces in the dorm

itself, is awesome. And, the technology-enhanced SCALE-

UP classroom in the same facility is amazing. Our students,

faculty and advising staff will all mutually benet from this

unique living-learning community. I am looking forward

to watching the impact of this expanded program on our

students. Its a great time to be a Clemson engineering and

science freshman.

University Housing and Dining invested nearly a

million dollars in the renovation of Lever Hall in the

summer of 2013. Updates include a classroom where

RiSE students take their clustered engineering courses, a

new student lounge and ofces for academic advisers and

RiSE staff.

Eric Pernotto, assistant director of academic initiatives

in University Housing, believes the program is a great

opportunity for students. As a result of our re-imaginingof this community, RiSE will become one of the most

intentional living and learning experiences for our students.

Intentional describes the careful effort we employ to make

sure that interactions between our staff and RiSE students

are meaningful and contribute to student learning and

success, Pernotto said. Clemson will be among the rst

universities that will have a completely integrated advising

center, faculty and staff ofces, conference room, classroom

and lounge space maximizing total use of the residence

hall for our LLC. We expect that a greater ease of access to

resources will result in a positive, productive residence life

experience.

listening inC

lemson students are taking full advantage of the

Universitys Social Media Listening Center (SMLC), with

impressive results. The SMLC won the 2012 Innovision

Award for Innovation in Education and has allowed students to

hone their research skills while assisting in University projects.

The SMLC is an interdisciplinary research lab and

teaching facility that opened in early 2012. The SMLC was

envisioned by Jim Bottum, chief information ofcer and

vice provost for computing and information technology at

Clemson. Barbara Weaver is the CCIT lead on implementing

the SMLC. The center brings together faculty, staff, students

and external partners to support undergraduate student

research, faculty research and outreach through social media

listening.

The center enables students to monitor thousands of

online conversations about organizations, brands, products

and services on a global scale in real time, said SMLC faculty

leader Jason Thatcher.

The cross-disciplinary nature of the SMLC fosters

unique collaborations across the University. Sophomore

Kaci Bennett was an incoming language and international

trade major who took advantage of the Honors CollegeEUREKA! program and the SMLC last summer by working

on a project visualizing social conversations around the

congressional elections. She spent ve weeks in the SMLC

helping to strategize ways to effectively search and visualize

around the election. With some help from graduate assistant

Jim Burleson and Dustin Atkins of Clemson Computing and

Information Technology, she drilled into the congressional

race in Floridas 22nd Congressional District and found

that absent geocoding, it is difcult to capture the full

conversation about the race. The team also learned that

while political scientists often say all politics are local,

denizens of the social Web view local politics through the

lens of the national race.

In the fall of last year, the SMLC was a key collaborato

with 7 On Your Side (WSPA-TV) in offering enhanced

coverage and analysis during the nationwide elections.

During the election coverage, Thatcher said Clemson

students used the social media listening and engagement

suite powered by the salesforce.com Marketing Cloud to

analyze which candidate, topic or issue was generating

the most mentions across the social Web. Viewers were

also able to see Clemson faculty and students from other

disciplines during the live webcast, including experts from

the Universitys political science and communication

studies departments.

The SMLC has six large display screens that faculty

and students monitor, similar to a small network operation

center. Salesforce Radian6 provides the platform to listen,

discover, measure and engage in conversations across

the Web by capturing more than 150 million sources of

social media conversations, including Facebook, Twitter,YouTube, LinkedIn, blogs and other online communities.

The Radian6 summary dashboard provides a graphic

display of social media content to convey sentiment, share

of voice, trend information, geo-location data and more.

The SMLC is a collaborative initiative between Clemso

Computing and Information Technology, the Clemson

University CyberInstitute, the College of Architecture, Arts

and Humanities, and the College of Business and Behaviora

Sciences (where the center is housed).
