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.
There is still time to join the Second Century Society luncheon Club for the final meeting of the 2023/2024 season! If you’re new to the Midlands SC area, this is a great opportunity for keeping in touch with Clemson University.
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 14 for our next and final meeting of the 2023/2024 season. We are so excited to invite back Dr. Cynthia Young, Founding Dean of the Clemson College of Science. A lot of amazing things have happened through Dean Young’s leadership since she took over as Dean in 2017. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from Dean Young!
Our meeting will be held at Senate’s End, 316 Senate Street, Columbia, SC 29201.
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.
Single lunches or guest lunches can be purchased for $25. Please consider adding a $5 gift to Clemson for the Second Century Society Annual Scholarship that supports students in our local area. Our goal each year is to give back $2,000 for scholarship.
