CLEMSON – The Clemson Young Alumni Council has recognized Tyler Andrew Brown of Columbia with the Roaring10 award.
Each year, the Clemson Young Alumni Council names 10 alumni to its “Roaring10,” recognizing outstanding young alumni for their influence in business, leadership, community, education and philanthropic endeavors. The honor is given to individuals who exemplify Clemson University’s core values of honesty, integrity and respect and who have graduated from Clemson within the last 10 years.
Brown graduated from Clemson University in 2009 with a degree in forest resource management. One year later, he completed his master’s degree at Clemson in forest resources.
Brown serves as the Conservation Districts Program manager for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. He is an active hunter-education instructor teaching future hunters about safety and ethics.
In 2013, Brown was asked to serve on the Clemson University Forestry Curriculum Reaccreditation Committee as a young alumni representative to the Society of American Foresters (SAF). Since 2015, Brown has served on the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS) Agriculture Alumni board of directors. While serving in this role, Brown organized the annual Clays for CAFLS Sporting Clays Tournament fundraiser. Since its inception in 2017, Clays for CAFLS has raised more than $60,000, which funds the C.

The 2019 Roaring10 class was honored by the Clemson Alumni Association and the Clemson Young Alumni Council at a ceremony on Oct. 11 at the Madren Conference Center on Clemson’s campus.
