Clemson to start its 122nd academic year

Clemson University will formally begin its 122nd academic year at the convocation at 9 o’clock Tuesday morning at Brooks Center for the Performing Arts. President James Clements has enlisted the services of his counterpart at Arizona State University, Michael Crow, to provide the keynote address. Clements serves in national organizations with Crow and has been impressed by what he has seen in Crow’s leadership. A processional of Clemson faculty and staff to the convocation will begin from Sikes, Brackett and Tillman halls at 8:30 a-m Tuesday and procede through the Carillon Garden down the walkway to the right of Martin Hall. It will continue past the reflection pool through the library breezeway to the Brooks Center.
