These students usually have options to attend many colleges, so I try to explain the distinctive qualities of Clemson. In those conversations, I always tell them about the Clemson Family. Sometimes the idea that a large university could be a “family” is met with skepticism. But Feb. 25, 2004, proved that the Clemson Family is not just an empty phrase. On that date, a fire destroyed an off-campus apartment complex and left more than 100 students homeless.

There’s a lot of conversation at Clemson about that ques- tion. Be certain of one thing: Clemson will question its success and make changes that will foster success in the future. Recently, success and change were the topics of a four-hour conversation at the Madren Center. More than 100 Clemson faculty members, staff and students attended a Public Service Activities summit on improving the University’s connection with South Carolina’s communities. In my opening comments at the summit, I said that I believe the land-grant univer- sity model may be the best idea America ever had. It has fundamentally changed our country in the most positive ways. Its success, however, may have hindered our ability to evolve. When you hit a home run, you’re not inclined to change anything.
