Clemson University Honors College

Our summer research program with the South Carolina Governor's School for Science & Mathematics (GSSM) is in full swing! 🔬

With mentorship from Clemson faculty and students, rising GSSM seniors are participating in research experiences all across campus. After the program, students work with their research mentors and Governor's School faculty to compile and analyze their research findings, prepare formal research papers, and present their work.

GSSM students also participate in various recreational activities with Clemson student counselors. Stay tuned for their poster presentations at the end of the summer!

Congratulations to Honors students Marco, Jennifer, Angie and Anna!

Five students were chosen to represent Clemson University at the 20th annual ACC Meeting of the Minds Undergraduate Research Conference! In Tallahassee, Florida, they will celebrate undergraduate research and creative inquiry from the 18 ACC member schools.

Action Scholars in action: meet psychology and business management (HR) student Saira Malhotra! 👋

Saira's Action Scholars project centers on creating community for siblings of children with special needs. The project stems from Saira's own childhood navigating a growing relationship with her "deepest source of inspiration"—her older sister who lives with a developmental disability.

Saira's long-term plan for her project includes community groups for siblings as well as an educational job-skills program for young adults with special needs. She took a step towards her goals this past week by hosting a "brushes and bonding" event where siblings were invited to create unique canvases, enjoy a light breakfast and meet others who have shared similar life experiences. We can't wait to see your project evolve, Saira!

Meet our 2026 Dixon Global Policy Scholars (GPS)! 🌍

These scholars kicked off the program earlier this month, heading to Europe for a study abroad experience. They visited key landmarks, met with academics and government officials and examined different international approaches to remembering past events.

The Dixon GPS program is designed for students to explore global policy issues. Over the next two to three years, these students will explore global concepts through coursework and faculty-guided research before developing their own policy proposals.

The program is open to students of all majors. The 2026 cohort includes students from: Clemson University College of Science , Clemson University's College of Agriculture, Forestry & Life Sciences , Clemson University College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences and College of Arts and Humanities at Clemson University .

Physics major Drew Hodges has been named a 2026 Astronaut Scholar, one of only 79 undergraduate students recognized nationwide for their exceptional academic achievement, curiosity and leadership! 🔭

With the scholarship, Hodges will learn from industry mentors and have an opportunity to present his research in atmospheric and space physics at the foundation’s national symposium in Houston. Congratulations, Drew!
