Our summer research program with the South Carolina Governor's School for Science & Mathematics (GSSM) is in full swing! 🔬

With mentorship from Clemson faculty and students, rising GSSM seniors are participating in research experiences all across campus. After the program, students work with their research mentors and Governor's School faculty to compile and analyze their research findings, prepare formal research papers, and present their work.

GSSM students also participate in various recreational activities with Clemson student counselors. Stay tuned for their poster presentations at the end of the summer!

Action Scholars in action: meet psychology and business management (HR) student Saira Malhotra! 👋

Saira's Action Scholars project centers on creating community for siblings of children with special needs. The project stems from Saira's own childhood navigating a growing relationship with her "deepest source of inspiration"—her older sister who lives with a developmental disability.

Saira's long-term plan for her project includes community groups for siblings as well as an educational job-skills program for young adults with special needs. She took a step towards her goals this past week by hosting a "brushes and bonding" event where siblings were invited to create unique canvases, enjoy a light breakfast and meet others who have shared similar life experiences. We can't wait to see your project evolve, Saira!
