Name: Brennan Dougherty
Hometown: Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Favorite place for lunch on campus or in town: Evolve!! Highly recommend the brussel sprouts.
Favorite spot on campus: Core Starbucks! It is my favorite place to do homework because I always run into people I know there.
Favorite question on a tour: “Does Clemson have a good football team?”. I love this question because we do have a few recent natties under our belt that people may not realize. But the best part is, regardless of the outcome, Clemson game days are always electric because we love to support the Tigers!!
Clubs and Organizations you are involved in on campus: Student Alumni Council, Student Government, Honors College Ambassador, Mechanical Engineering Ambassador
Hobbies: My favorite thing to do is spend afternoons outside at the lake swimming or kayaking. I also play the guitar and piano and love to go to concerts with friends. I also really enjoy traveling when I can.
Advice for jumping into college life: The best advice I can give is to be willing to try new things and get out of your comfort zone! That is when you are going to have the most fun and make the greatest memories.
Advice on how to choose a college: Find a school where you are going to have the most well rounded college experience. For me, that was Clemson! It is so easy to find ways to get involved outside of the classroom here and meet the greatest people. Find that place for you.
Fun fact about yourself: I can play the carillon in the Clemson bell tower!
