Season 4 Reconciling the Untold Stories of your Institution’s Past

This episode explores the implications of addressing racist history at higher education institutions. Three Clemson alumni will share the national and historical events that took place during their college journey and how these events may or may not have altered their Clemson Experience. Through acknowledging painful parts of Clemson’s history, we will examine how a student’s social identities and the institutional marketing used in the admissions process, influence your collegiate experience.
