"Clemson Young Alumni"

From the Young Alumni page at alumni.clemson.edu.....

As a young alumni, you are an ambassador for the university daily in its goal to become a “Top 20” Public University whether you are aware of it or not. It can be the little things like a Clemson diploma hanging on your wall at work or a sticker on your car, volunteering in your community or local alumni club, or giving back to the university through the Clemson Fund. A gift of as little as $10 to the Clemson Fund will go a long way to increasing the value of your degree and advancing the universities goal of becoming a Top 20 University.

Mr. Tycho Howle ’71 made a generous offer to help increase young alumni giving and enhance your contribution toward the Clemson Fund. The Howle’s have offered to match $.50 per $1 of your gift for year 1 and 2 and in year 3, $1 per $1. This is a great opportunity to start your annual contribution to the Clemson Fund if you haven’t given in the past.
