Clemson University Staff Senate

Meet Matthew Boudreaux – Clemson Champion

Meet Matthew Boudreaux, Associate Director of New Student Orientation l Projects

Can you tell us about your role here at Clemson?

I manage and oversee the design, implementation and assessment of new student orientation initiatives, inclusive of our in-person experience Ready, Set, Roar! as well as the virtual components of New Student Orientation. Along with the Assistant Director, I work closely with the Orientation Ambassadors and help out with other initiatives from our office, including our campus visit experience and Admitted Students Day (Tiger Town Takeover).  

What is something fun we might not know about you?

I love Broadway – I’ve seen 66 shows! You can catch me at Thursday Nights at the Peace Center & and any local Theatre in the Upstate!  

What brought you to Clemson?

I knew I wanted to work in Orientation after grad school and the search landed me here! I knew the people were special back then and that continues to be the reason why I stay.  

Is there anything you would like for people to know about your department?

Visits, Events, and Orientation is still such a young office since its inception, but we have produced SO MUCH! We are growing quickly and want to work with all campus departments and community partners to show how special Clemson is to all of our prospective and admitted students and families.
