Hello everyone!

We have some great news following our CUHFES student officer election ended last week. Here are the results:

• President: Darlene Edewaard
• Vice President: Dan Quinn
• Secretary: Ellen Szubski
• Treasurer: Katie Lucaites
• Interdepartmental Liaison: Kylie Gomes
• Webmaster: Jackie McSorely
• Social Chair: Amro Khasawneh

Congratulations to all of our new and returning CUHFES officers for the upcoming 2017-2018 academic year! Thank you to all of those who voted in our election, as well.

We are also hosting a movie night this Thursday evening 4/20/2017 7pm – 9pm in Brackett 419! We are going to pick a movie out as a group when the event starts. Food and drinks will be provided.

We recently asked our members what kind of gift they would like to receive for their year-end, members-only CUHFES gift. Thanks to your voting, we have decided to order custom water bottles for everyone! You may pick up your Clemson HFES water bottle at the movie night this Thursday, if you are able to attend. If you cannot attend please let us know (hfes@g.clemson.edu) and we’ll find another time to get your gift to you!

As a bonus: CUHFES recently went to Rainbow Falls for a group hike, and we had a great time. Check out our photos from the trip in our media section and videos recorded by a drone below!

Hi everyone!

We have several events taking place this Friday (March 10). We hope to see you all at each event.

CUHFES vs. C-SIOP Basketball game: 4-5pm in Fike
Come join us at Fike Recreation Center as we play the I/Os in our annual basketball game. If you don’t want to play, you can still watch from the benches surrounding the basketball court! Come play or cheer on our team! We will meet in the main gym on one of the basketball courts.

Happy Hour: 5pm at Tiger Town Tavern (TTTs)
After we beat the I/Os, please join us for Happy Hour at Tiger Town Tavern! Appetizers will be provided.

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!

Hi CUHFES members!
