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.

Don’t miss out! Purchase of these beautiful cards can take place on Marketplace beginning March 1.  Make a difference and add a touch of Clemson charm to your correspondence.

About the The Staff Senate Endowed Scholarship:

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.

Help save lives and receive $50 in eGift Cards by donating to Staff Senate Blood Drive! The Blood Connection will be on campus on Tuesday, February 13, from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. on Calhoun Dr. between the Carillon Garden and Bowman Field.

Register on the Blood Connection website by entering sponsor code 8CSS!

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!
