Staff Senate
Angela Nixon was installed as president as the university’s staff senate. A member of the university’s media relations department, Nixon has worked for Clemson for 11 years and is a die-hard Tiger.
“ I am a Clemson girl; always have been,” said Nixon. “I graduated twice from Clemson and my dad went to Clemson.”
Nixon accepted the leadership gavel from Julia Lusk, who served as staff senate president in 2012-2013.
The 2013-2014 president plans to work closely with the faculty senate president and leadership from the student and graduate student senates. Her priorities include actively seeking and listening to staff input, promoting staff professional development opportunities and ensuring Staff Senate continues to have a seat at the table in discussions about staff compensation.

Among Smith’s priorities as president are reforming general education, expanding shared governance and working with Clemson’s leadership to improve opportunities for university faculty.
