Board Member Spotlight
Jon and Heather Mihalic P’21, P’25
Jon and Heather Mihalic are thrilled to represent Clemson University through the DC Baltimore Clemson Club Board of Directors. Jon completed undergraduate studies at Gannon University and his Master’s in Business Administration at Youngstown State University. Heather attended The Pennsylvania State University for undergraduate and completed her Master’s in Health Administration at Central Michigan University. Jon is Director of Global PMO for Deltek, Inc. and Heather is a Registered Dietitian who health coaches for Labcorp. Jon served on the Project Management Institute’s Board of Directors for 2 consecutive terms. Heather has been a member for 17 years with Community Bible Study and volunteers on the Servants Team. In their spare time they enjoy traveling and hiking with their Goldendoodle Marley.
They have two children, Rachel and Reagan. Rachel graduated in 2021 from Clemson University with a Mathematical Sciences Degree and works for Moody’s in Charlotte, NC. Reagan is a junior Accounting major at Clemson and will be a tax accounting intern with Forvis this summer. In addition, their nephew Ian is a senior at Clemson in Biomedical Engineering.
They feel that the one thing that sets Clemson University apart is Clemson’s dedication and commitment to family. Heather’s first DC Baltimore Club event was the Mom’s Care Package event and she was astounded with the love and spirit for Clemson that the moms displayed. They have enjoyed participating in the Mount Vernon cleanup days, Arlington National Cemetery wreath clean up, Mom’s Care package events, embassy visits, and the National Cathedral tour.
They would love to see the DC Baltimore Club focus on including current juniors and seniors at young alumni events to strengthen the ties with recent Clemson graduates. Hopefully, these current students will see the benefits of joining an alumni club and will seek a Clemson alumni club wherever they live upon graduating.

By January, the holiday spirit has lessened and the weather is colder. The 250,000+ holiday wreaths that were placed at Arlington National Cemetery in December are ready to be removed. Coordinated by Wreaths Across America, this is an often overlooked volunteer opportunity. Join the Clemson Club to help retrieve/remove wreaths as we honor veterans, their service and their final resting place.
This volunteer opportunity is open to everyone and many hands are needed to help!

Hosted by Angie Paolozzi P’24 & Helen Bath P’23 at Angie’s home in Vienna, Virginia.
We would love to have you join us for a very casual evening of Clemson camaraderie! We’ll enjoy hors d’oeuvres and beverages, meet some great local Clemson moms, and assemble care packages for our Clemson students in time for a Valentine’s Day surprise.
Here’s how it works: Once we have a confirmed guest count, each person is asked to bring one item to contribute to the care packages. For example, if we have 15 people joining, then you would bring 15 of one item (Rice Krispies treats, lip balm, ramen noodles, fuzzy socks … you get the idea!) and at the end of the night, you’ll walk away with a box full of goodies that you can mail to your Clemson student(s).
Sounds like fun,right?!
