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.

And there is more to do than just eat! Go for a swim in the pool, try to catch a few crabs yourself, take out a kayak or canoe or join a guided boat tour of the river. A huge thank you to Mark ‘91 and Cindy ‘90 Derrick for hosting.
