A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE march 5, 2025, AS "clemson day" IN 
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Clemson 
University was founded in 1889 through a bequest to the State of South Carolina 
from Thomas Green Clemson, a Philadelphia-born, European-educated engineer, 
musician, and artist who married John C. Calhoun's daughter, Anna, and settled 
at her family estate in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Clemson's 
campus is the entire State of South Carolina, with the university having a 
presence in every county in South Carolina, agriculture research centers from 
Piedmont to the coast, youth programs that serve more than a hundred thousand 
young people per year, and innovation campuses devoted to research and economic 
development in Anderson, Greenville, Greenwood, and North Charleston to support 
both existing and emerging industry clusters ranging from agribusiness and 
manufacturing to aviation and advanced materials; and

Whereas, Clemson's 
annual economic impact is over six billion dollars, resulting in thirty-seven 
thousand jobs statewide and generating almost one hundred and fifteen million 
in annual tax revenue; and

Whereas, Clemson 
University is a Tier 1 Research Institution as determined by the Carnegie 
Foundation, which puts it among the top universities in the nation in research 
output; and

Whereas, Clemson 
University has earned top rankings for graduation rates, value, efficiency, and 
return on investment, all while maintaining an excellent student experience; 
and

Whereas, Clemson 
University is home to the State's first-ever veterinary school, the Harvey S. 
Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine, which is expected to enroll its 
inaugural class in the fall of 2026; and

Whereas, Clemson 
University received more than sixty-two thousand applications for enrollment in 
2024 and offers a path to a Clemson degree to more than ninety three percent of 
South Carolina applicants each year; and

Whereas, Clemson 
University enrolls more than twenty-five thousand undergraduate and graduate 
students and has nearly two hundred thousand living alumni - with over one 
hundred thousand of these alumni living in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Clemson 
University is part of a national system of land-grant universities and the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, providing statewide research, extension, and 
regulatory programs to enhance economic growth in South Carolina's agribusiness 
and forestry industries through a continuous education of farmers, foresters, 
and land managers; and

Whereas, for more than one 
hundred thirty years, Clemson University has fulfilled the covenant between its 
founder and the people of South Carolina to remain a "high seminary of 
learning" and to improve the economy of the State through its historical 
land-grant responsibilities of teaching, research and extended public service. 
Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize March 5, 2025 
as "Clemson Day" in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to the president of Clemson University, James P. 
Clements, Ph.D.
