Trinity Scott grew up just miles from the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia, but somehow fate never seemed to be on her side in terms of officially touring or visiting the university. USC’s loss was Clemson’s gain, and the senior psychology major has flourished as a member of the Upstate campus community.

Scott is in her second year as a member of the Orientation ambassador team. Last year, she served as an ambassador, but this year she is one of six team leaders. Under her direction, she oversees six ambassadors who are charged with leading groups of incoming students and their families in the transition to Clemson. This year has been even more of a challenge because of the effects seen from COVID-19, which has led to virtual elements in lieu of the traditional in-person experience.

In the podcast, she reflects on not only her experiences as a student at Clemson, but also on the current national and local climate that has surfaced during the past few months. She also discusses her work within the Council of Diversity Affairs as part of Clemson Undergraduate Student Government.
