About this Event
Have you heard of the Second Century Society? If you’ve been a past member, you already know what a great opportunity this club offers for keeping in touch with Clemson University.
If you aren’t a past member, let me fill you in: In 1989, a dedicated group of Clemson alumni and friends in the Columbia area formed an organization called The Second Century Society. Their goal was to provide a forum for Clemson to share its message with alumni and friends of Clemson. It is a networking opportunity as well as an opportunity to learn what is going on in the academic and research fields at our school and what you can do to help Clemson accomplish its mission. Membership is open to all that share an interest in Clemson.
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 3 for our second lunch of the 2024/2025 season. We will hear from Clemson University's Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer, Tony Wagner.
Our meeting will be held at The Hall at Senate’s End, 316 Senate Street, Columbia, SC 29201. While we are still building out the schedule for the 2024/2025 season, we will continue to meet on Tuesdays at lunch around the following times of the year:
- Tuesday, December 3 | Tony Wagner, Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer, Clemson University
- January 2025 (day TBD) | Speaker TBD
- March 2025 (day TBD) | Speaker TBD
- May 2025 (day TBD) | Speaker TBD
Reminder that our doors open at 11:45 AM and we encourage you to arrive and network with other guests. There are many new Clemson friends in the Midlands SC area. Bring someone new and introduce them to others! The program begins at approximately 12:00 and ends promptly at 1:00.
