Clemson University has a strong military background based in its foundation as a land-grant/ROTC institution. Our mission is to support, recognize, and advocate for military members and veterans in order to build a stronger workforce at the University. We have an initiative to actively retain and recruit this community by offering selective benefits, offering veteran preference on applications for permanent roles, holding annual events for our employees, and much more. Our President, Dr. James Clements, has also fully committed to supporting this initiative, as they are such an added value to our culture andcommunity at Clemson.
