Legacy Day Leaf Ceremony
PREVIOUS EVENT
Clemson University will celebrate its history and honor alumni and members of the extended Clemson Family who live out its tradition of service on Legacy Day from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday.
Clemson’s Legacy Day was started in 2009 to recognize the fact that Clemson was founded by an act of philanthropy by Anna and Thomas Green. Clemson, and service has been an integral part of what the university stands for ever since.
The Clemsons’ memory will be front and center during the celebrations at their Fort Hill home. Tours of the grounds and a scavenger hunt will be featured events, and copies of Mr. and Mrs. Clemsons’ wills will be on display. Students will be invited to “leave their mark” by signing a special Clemson print that will be displayed in the R.M. Cooper Library, and caramel apples and cider will be served.
At 4 p.m., a formal ceremony under the trees will recognize William Brooks Thayer with a bronze leaf dedication and induction into the Fort Hill Legacy Society, a posthumous honor for those who bequeath $1 million or more to the university. The ceremony at 4PM will be shown live on ClemsonTV.
