Exclusive Capitol Experience with Congresswoman Sheri Biggs
The Clemson Club invites our valued Corporate Partners and Roaring Tigers*** to a special, behind-the-scenes evening at the U.S. Capitol.
Join us on Thursday, April 16 at 6:00 PM for a private tour led by Sheri Biggs, who represents South Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District—home to Clemson and the surrounding Upstate communities.
This exclusive experience offers rare access inside one of the nation’s most historic landmarks. Guests will explore iconic spaces including the Old House Chamber, the Rotunda, and the Crypt beneath the Capitol, as well as portions of the modern, working building where history continues to unfold each day.
Throughout the evening, Congresswoman Biggs will share insights into her work on Capitol Hill and her efforts advocating for South Carolina families and the Clemson community.
This is a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and experience the Capitol in a way few visitors do.
Attendance is limited and reserved exclusively for Corporate Partners and Roaring Tigers.
***Interested in this event but not a Corporate Partner or Roaring Tiger? Become one today! Please see our website or email info@ClemsonClub.org.
