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?!

Join us for this online event to hear about his days as a Clemson Cadette, his distinguished military career, Space Force and what’s coming up next. Please register if you plan to join this online event.
