Taylor Williams is a second-year graduate assistant with Clemson Outdoor Recreation and Education (CORE).

One spring break trip was all it took to completely change the outlook for Taylor Williams. A political science major at Auburn University, Williams went from aspiring lawyer to outdoor recreation enthusiast in the blink of an eye. After earning her degree in 2017, she knew outdoor recreation and education was in her future. She earned a graduate assistantship with Clemson’s CORE program and enrolled in August 2018.

Williams is responsible for day-to-day preparation for outdoor adventure trips and oversight of the student staff leaders. She recently moved into a new office at the Andy Quattlebaum Outdoor Education Center, Clemson’s state-of-the-art home to the CORE program.

In the podcast, Williams discusses her affinity for hiking and bike riding, what she’s learned working as a member of the Campus Recreation team and how the new facility has added increased awareness to one of the nation’s premier outdoor recreation and education programs.
