Clemson Advocacy & Success

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate World Kindness Day with us last week!

On this Veteran’s Day we give thanks and honor our military personnel, past and present, who serve our nation with great bravery and sacrifice.

Join OAS in celebrating World Kindness Day! We will be celebrating on Friday, November 11th from 8:30 am - 11:00 am (or until supplies run out) with FREE coffee and donuts. We hope to spread some kindness to our students Friday morning and remind us all to continue to be kind to one another. CU on Friday!





Image Description: Two OAS staff members, Kathy Cauthen and Makayla Stark, are standing behind a table that has a purple tablecloth. The tablecloth has a white OAS logo on it. A student is at the table with her back tuned away from the camera. She has a black book bag on. Makayla and Kathy are smiling and there is candy on the table. The table is in front of several green and orange trees.

The Office of Advocacy and Success is wearing purple today to support those impacted by Domestic Violence. Check out for additional ways that you can support survivors this week and month.

Congratulations to our OAS staff members who earned their Mental Health First Aid certifications. Pictured left to right: Makayla Stark, Steven Groves, Breanna McKnight, and Kathy Cauthen. And a special thank you to for offering this training!

Happy first day of class to all taking summer classes!

Congratulations to our very own Kathy Cauthen, Assistant Director in OAS, for being awarded the Algernon Sydney Sullivan award. This award is presented to an individual for excellence of character and service to humanity. We could not think of anyone more deserving! Congratulations, Kathy 🐯

We hope everyone enjoys their sugar scrub! There will be events each day 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the library. Stop by and see the OAS, Library, and CAPS table for a fun, de-stressing activity the rest of the week. Good luck with your remaining finals this week!

We had a great time celebrating Commuter Appreciation Day this morning by passing out coffee and bagels to commuter students near C3!

Reminder to join us in McKissick Theatre this coming Wednesday, April 6th from 5-6:30pm for the SAAM Response Forum. Come meet your on-campus resources, learn about the services they provide for survivors, and ask them questions. Swipe to register.
