The Spring 2025 edition of Clemson University’s Power of the Paw opened on Wednesday, Jan. 28. This quick-pulse survey is made available to all currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students for a two-week period, ending Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 11:59 p.m.
Power of the Paw takes less than five minutes to complete and aims to understand, promote and elevate the Clemson experience of current students. Data from Power of the Paw informs institutional action and resource allocation in support of the No. 1 student experience pillar within Clemson Elevate.
Last fall, more than 3,600 students completed the survey. Since the introduction of the tool in Fall 2023, more than 13,000 individuals have completed at least one edition of the survey.
Some key student takeaways from the Fall data include:
- 66% correctly identified at least four of the six University values (11% increase from Fall 2024)
- 85% reported overall well-being as good, very good or excellent (4% increase)
- 92% somewhat agreed, agreed or strongly agreed they belonged at Clemson (no change)
- 93% would definitely or probably choose Clemson again (1% increase)
Students are incentivized to participate in the survey. By completing the assessment, those eligible can win a variety of prizes including free parking, bike share memberships, Clemson memorabilia, iPads, Paw Points and more. The full list of incentives, along with updated terms and conditions, are available online.
