In Memory of Sam

At age 21, Clemson University student Samuel J. Cadden of Richmond, Viriginia, already had a goal to one day have a building on campus named for him. His parents, Ken and Mary Cadden, are making that wish a reality with a $1.5 million gift to establish a chapel on campus in honor of their son, who tragically lost his life in an automobile accident last summer. To be located near the heart of campus, the Samuel J. Cadden Chapel will be a place to celebrate, meditate, worship and remember. The chapel will serve the students, faculty, staff, family and friends on campus for generations to come. The surrounding gardens will provide a serene natural area for anyone who prefers to reflect outdoors in the midst of nature.
