The purpose of the President’s Leadership Institute is to hone and develop the skills necessary for leadership success with higher education. The institute expands the participant’s knowledge of higher education as an industry and provides a broad understanding of the skills needed for executive leadership. Participants also gain a broader perspective on the impact Clemson has at the state, regional, national, and international level. Please join me in congratulating Hugo for being selected for the President’s Leadership Institute.

Our students continue to excel! Second year graduate student, Jordan Eagle, has been awarded the Chandra X-ray Observatory Predoctoral Fellowship at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The Chandra X-ray Center is the Science and Operations Center for the Chandra X-ray Observatory, operated for NASA by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). After completing her coursework at Clemson, she will spend two years doing research at the forefront of high energy astrophysics. Please join me in congratulating Jordan for this well deserved honor.

Graduation is always a bittersweet time for us. On the one hand we are sad to see the students that we have worked with over the past four years leave us. On the other we are excited to see them accomplish their goals and move onto this next stage in their life. This spring, we had 19 undergraduates and 1 graduate student and had the opportunity to have brunch together prior to the commencement ceremony. Please join me congratulating these students on all their hard work.
