Clemson University is celebrating the achievements of five outstanding undergraduate scholars who represented the institution at the 19th annual ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) Meeting of the Minds conference hosted by the University of Pittsburgh last month.
The ACC Meeting of the Minds is a prestigious undergraduate research and creative inquiry conference that brings students from all 18 ACC member institutions together. Each university selects five student scholars through a competitive internal application process.
Our students did an absolutely incredible job presenting the work they are so passionate about while proudly representing Clemson University. These inspiring scholars represent the astounding talent of Clemson’s undergraduate student population.”
