Discovering yourself and The Clemson Advantage a way to give back. A bond that strengthens with time. From the moment Shavonne Brown ’05 stepped onto the campus, Clemson was in her blood. She threw herself into every activity from Tiger Band to student government to social sororities. But most important, it was at Clemson that she found her passion for what she calls “learning what makes people tick” — a passion that led to her career with a nonprofit psychosocial rehabilitation program in Baltimore.

Brown knows the difference one individual can make. And she chose to make that difference by ensuring that Keeping students first — and preparing them for the advantages she enjoyed, the programs that affected her careers that make a difference in the world — can most deeply, would always be produce incredible results.

Turning aid into advantage.

Eric Knapp had the passion and the academic prowess to be a physician. But it took a scholarship to fund his education at Clemson.

“It was my responsibility to pay for college,” Knapp explains. “I would not have been able to attend Clemson or take part in some of my international experiences without the aid of scholarships.”

Knapp made the most of the financial gift. While working diligently in order to achieve the kind of grades that would get him into the Medical University of South Carolina this fall, Knapp did not wait for his life’s work to begin. He made University-sponsored trips to intern in the Dominican Republic, administer vaccines in the Sudan and work on a housing project in India. Stateside, he spent hundreds of hours mentoring high school students and working with Dr. Oscar Lovelace ’82 in his rural family medicine practice. The combined result is a young man dedicated not only to Clemson, but also to a lifetime of serving others.

As the list grew, the need for a permanent site became more apparent. The Clemson Corps considered various places on campus, but one space in particular stood out. Rhodes Proudly serving remembers the decision. “As we considered various sites on campus, we learned that s a land-grant college in 1942, as the new stadium was being built, the administration had selected the name established under the Morrill ‘Memorial Stadium’ to honor those alumni who had made the ultimate sacrifice. What A Act, Clemson students were better location for this memorial than a site adjacent to the stadium?” required to participate in military service Sculptors T.J. Dixon and Jim Nelson from San Diego, Calif., with Clemson’s chief until 1955 when the college was granted landscape architect Barry Anderson, developed a concept for the memorial: a barrow civilian status and became a coeducational encircled by rocks engraved with the names of the fallen, surrounded by trees and benches institution.

Scroll of Honor Memorial ensures that Clemson stands true to this commitment. IClemson classmates Henry Leitner ’37, Otis Morgan ’38 and Ben Skardon ’38 survived the Bataan Death March in 1942 and supported each other through their horrific ordeal in Japanese slave labor camps. Skardon owes his life to Leitner and Morgan, who nursed him when he fell seriously ill. In 1945, Morgan died onboard a Japanese hell ship, and Leitner died in a POW camp in Japan. Rudy Anderson ’48 was the sole casualty of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Considered one of the best U-2 pilots in the Air Force, Anderson was recommended for an aerial reconnaissance mission to gather photo- graphic evidence of Soviet weapons stockpiles. His plane was shot down over the eastern end of Cuba. Stories like these remind us that our freedom truly isn’t free. But while we mourn the loss of our fallen servicemen, the Clemson Corps is working to ensure that their stories live on.

Soon after, I got the opportunity to return to Clemson and join the faculty. Teaching at Clemson was amazing — working with the University leadership and seeing just how much everyone wants Clemson to succeed.

Along with my teaching and service duties, I was adviser for the nationally recognized honorary service organization Arnold Air Society, where I supervised cadets in leadership and service projects. Last year, I was honored to be named the No. 1 Commandant of Cadets for Air Force ROTC.

While I take great pride in this national honor, I’m prouder still that it comes to Clemson’s program where I gained so much as a student. Clemson prides itself on giving back to the community, the state and the country, and I’m forever grateful to be part of such a wonderful tradition.
