Clemson University has made the decision to sunset multiple commissions established over recent years. The commissions have successfully fulfilled their important charge, making a lasting impression on the value, strength and growth of the Clemson community and our campus. Their efforts demonstrate what dedicated individuals can accomplish together.
The University deeply values the contributions of its commissions, which for many years have provided meaningful opportunities for dialogue and community building. Commission members have given generously of their time, energy and ideas to support a stronger, more connected University, and their work is appreciated.
The commissions were created to provide opportunities for engagement around shared interests and experiences. Over time, they have fostered important conversations, helped build bridges across the Clemson community and created a sense of belonging for students, faculty, staff and alumni. Their legacy will continue to be felt in the culture of collaboration they helped to shape.
Importantly, individuals remain free to associate and to explore new ways of fostering connection and belonging should they choose to do so. Clemson values this freedom of affiliation, and everyone shares responsibility for building a professional environment where everyone can thrive.
Clemson employees have access to a variety of resources that promote well-being and a supportive workplace culture. The Ombuds Office provides a confidential and impartial space for resolving workplace concerns, while the Employee Assistance Program connects faculty and staff with professional counseling and resources for personal and professional challenges. Wellness Ambassadors foster a culture of health across campus, encouraging balance and engagement in daily life. In addition, Faculty Senate and Staff Senate serve as the collective voice of employees, advocating for the needs and perspectives of the University’s workforce. Together, these resources embody Clemson’s commitment to care, collaboration and excellence, ensuring that every member of the Clemson Family has the support and the work environment they need to excel.
