Hey Tigers, are you ready for some football?!?
The CUHFES tailgate is coming up this Saturday, and we are excited to share the details. We will be meeting up on the patio between Brackett and Hardin Hall at 8:00 am! (See the map below, click the image to expand it)

An early game calls for an early tailgate, so we will be providing breakfast biscuits and coffee! Feel free to bring anything else you’d like to eat or drink.

Please RSVP for the tailgate (https://goo.gl/forms/wzg9b5tmfB6KeWV63), so that we can know how much food and drinks to provide!
Bring a chair and your Clemson spirit as we prepare to watch the Tigers take on the Wolfpack for Homecoming weekend!

See you all on Saturday, and Go Tigers!

This summer, student members of Clemson’s HFES chapter collaborated with US Engine Valve (USEV). Together, we produced a thorough ergonomics assessment of their plant in Westminster, SC. Our CUHFES team members presented their findings to USEV yesterday, and it went great! We want to thank Clay Murphy and his team at USEV for the amazing opportunity they have provided us. We had a great time and we hope to continue working together soon!

On August 16, CUHFES officers Dan Quinn, Scott Betza, Will Leidheiser, and Drea Fekety represented our chapter at Clemson’s Tiger Prowl event. Tiger Prowl is an annual event for new students to learn about campus organizations, and it was an excellent opportunity for us to showcase CUHFES’s work and recruit new members. We’re looking forward to next year’s event!
