Staff Senate strives to support Clemson’s staff through advocacy, recognition, and service. Our annual fundraiser benefitting the Staff Senate Endowed Scholarship gives you a chance to pitch in, too! This year, we are offering a special, limited-edition bundle of cards featuring charming watercolor paintings of Clemson buildings painted by Thabang Nyondo ‘21, a talented architecture alum.
Your purchase of these lovely cards contributes directly to the
Staff Senate Endowed Scholarship, which provides $2,500 scholarships to 15
students each year. These scholarships are awarded based on need and academic
achievement, supporting the children of Clemson staff members in pursuit of
their educational goals.

charm to your correspondence.
In 1989, the Senate established an academic scholarship that was
awarded to the child of a staff member.
These scholarships are made possible through generous support
from Clemson University staff, faculty, administrators and community friends.
Funds are raised by payroll
deduction and from other fund-raising efforts by the Staff Senate.

In the true spirit of giving, 100 Clemson staff and faculty members donated $14,786 to benefit the Employee Emergency Fund in the 12-day “Battle of the Senates” challenge. Staff pulled ahead to win in the final two days.
“Staff Senate was thrilled to hear the results of the ‘Battle of the Senates’ 12-day giving campaign for the Employee Emergency Fund,” said Staff Senate President Jake Anderson. “In a time of need, Clemson staff and faculty joined together in friendly competition and breathed life into this fund. Staff Senate remains steadfast in our commitment to advocate for and promote resources that staff members need to flourish in their positions at the University.”
Thank you to all who gave to help our colleagues in need—and don’t forget, you can donate or apply to the Employee Emergency Fund any time of year!
