Gather with fellow Tigers to honor Clemson’s fallen heroes who are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. We will gather as a whole group for opening remarks then break into small groups to visit 4-5 grave sites. The group will gather again for closing remarks and a Roll Call performed by Clemson Cadets in the Amphitheater.

There will be a reception from 11:00am – 1:00pm with light food and beverages at the Military Women’s Museum at the entrance to Arlington Cemetery.

Member pricing for the reception is $25 and non-member pricing is $40. Club members may purchase up to 1 additional ticket a member pricing.

Founded in 2000, the Call Me MiSTER® (Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models) program was created to inspire minority young men to pursue meaningful careers in education. What began as a partnership between Clemson University and three other institutions has grown into a national success, now spanning more than 75 colleges and universities. Through academic support, tuition assistance, and job placement, Call Me MiSTER is transforming lives and shaping the future of education.

This March, our Club is proud to help host Call Me MiSTER Director Mark Joseph, a former MiSTER himself, along with several current students as they visit DC during Clemson’s spring break.  Alumni, parents, and students are invited to join us for a special evening reception on Wednesday, March 18 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington to meet Mark and the MiSTERs while hearing first hand stories of their success and celebrating the program’s incredible impact.

Registration is just $7 for Club members (who may bring three guests at this rate) and $20 for non-members and includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, and soft drinks, along with complimentary valet parking.
