EVALUATING TRANSIT SYSTEMS IN A UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT THE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY CASE STUDY A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Civil Engineering by Katerina Valentine Bartman August 2010 Accepted by: Dr. Mashrur Chowdhury, Co-Committee Chair Dr. Jennifer Ogle, Co-Committee Chair Dr. Anne Dunning i ABSTRACT With the economy in a slow recovery, enrollment in higher education is increasing. This means that universities across the country must accommodate these new students, their vehicles, and local transportation needs. Campus setting and ambiance is a treasured quality on a university campus resulting in the approval of additional surface lots and parking garages being difficult or restricted. To combat the increased number of single occupancy vehicles, universities are developing and encouraging the use of multi- modal transportation by providing pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation facilities along with providing users with the information necessary to make the optimal modal choice (Boyles, 2006).

  • Working Draft Fm 2004
    i. PART I. INTRODUCTION A. The Nature and Function of this Manual The Clemson University Faculty Manual is a compilation of information pertaining to the faculty member's participation in the governance of the university. It includes summaries of those university policies and procedures that are of major concern to faculty. The need to have a Manual of manageable size dictates that this document, though comprehensive, be less than complete. Consequently, in certain places the reader is directed to other documents or sources to obtain more detailed information. The first Manual for Clemson University faculty was distributed in 1960 and has undergone numerous revisions since. The guiding principle behind the current revision was the desire to record and codify the changes made in the principal governing instrument following campus reorganization and internal policy changes. The most current version of the Manual is available on the faculty senate’s World Wide Web page (http://www.lib.clemson.edu/fs/ ); additions and/or deletions are made there in a timely fashion between printings. B. Using this Manual The Faculty Manual is divided into nine parts and each part is paginated separately. There are also appendices and an index. Each part is fully described in the “Table of Contents.” The editors have tried to make the Manual as “user friendly” as possible and all suggestions for improvement are cheerfully accepted. C. Procedures for Updating the Manual Any person or group on campus may suggest a change to the Clemson University Faculty Manual by submitting a request to the President of the faculty senate.

  • Thomas Green Clemson July 1, 1807-April 6, 1888 Thomas Green Clemson, the University’S Founder and Namesake, Was As Complex As the Times in Which He Lived
    Thomas Green Clemson July 1, 1807-April 6, 1888 Thomas Green Clemson, the University’s founder and namesake, was as complex as the times in which he lived. In his 80 years, he achieved fame as a diplomat, an agriculturalist and a mining engineer. Clemson was a renaissance man whose hobbies included music, art and the classics of the ancient world. Clemson was also a Confederate officer and a plantation and slave owner. Clemson’s multifaceted life was influenced by the 19th century in which he lived. His diverse education encouraged him to establish Clemson University in his last will and testament. Early Years: 1807-1813 On July 1, 1807, Thomas Green Clemson IV was born in Philadelphia, the son of Thomas Green Clemson III, a Quaker merchant, and Elizabeth Baker, the daughter of a prominent Episcopalian family. In 1813, when Thomas Clemson was only six, his wealthy father died, leaving an estate of $100,000 to his widow, his son Thomas and his other five children: • John Baker, an Episcopal bishop who married four times to Margaret Bull, Phebe Lewis, Martha Smith and Hanna Gibbons; • William Frederick, who married Susan Dore; • Louisa, who married Dr. Samuel Walter Washington, a grand nephew of George Washington; • Catherine, who married George North of Philadelphia; and • Elizabeth, who married the Hon. Mr. George Washington Barton. Early Schooling: 1813-1823 Little is known about Clemson’s early education. Traditionally, he is believed to have attended schools in Philadelphia, possibly run by Quakers. Philadelphia in the early 19th century had a relatively large free African-American population; however, it is unclear if young Thomas had any interactions with this community.

For some, this may mean access to resources to help them through difficult times, while for others that may mean knowledge of local events and experiences to enhance their time in the area, whether for a short visit or an extended residency. Hopefully, this encourages involvement in all aspects of our community and maybe shed some light on some lesser known groups and organizations in the area. This guide includes resources and organizations in Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, and Greenville counties, which are shown in the map below. Clemson is marked by the City logo on the map, hiding in the bottom corner of Pickens County, right on the border of both Anderson and Oconee counties. (These three counties are collectively known as the Tri-County area.) Clemson is also just a short drive from Greenville, which is a larger, more metropolitan area. The City of Clemson is a university town that provides a strong sense of community and a high quality of life for its residents. University students add to its diversity and vitality.
