Second Century Society - 4/8/25

Have you heard of the Second Century Society? If you’ve been a past member, you already know what a great opportunity this club offers for keeping in touch with Clemson University.

If you aren’t a past member, let me fill you in: In 1989, a dedicated group of Clemson alumni and friends in the Columbia area formed an organization called The Second Century Society. Their goal was to provide a forum for Clemson to share its message with alumni and friends of Clemson. It is a networking opportunity as well as an opportunity to learn what is going on in the academic and research fields at our school and what you can do to help Clemson accomplish its mission. Membership is open to all that share an interest in Clemson.

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 8 for our fourth lunch of the 2024/2025 season. We will hear from Dr. Leslie Hossfeld, Dean of the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences.

Our meeting will be held at the 300 building at Senate’s End, 316 Senate Street, Columbia, SC 29201. Please note that this location is different from The Hall, where we have previously met - but is just across the parking lot.

Our final Second Century meeting of the year will be May 6th with Dr. Barbara Speziale, Director of CI & Undergraduate Research & Associate Director of the Watt Family Innovation Center.
