Through poetry, spoken word, music and dance, this student-organized event acknowledges Clemson’s complex racial past while celebrating and renewing its commitment to inclusion and diversity today. See the Stripes is the inaugural event of this year’s Race and the University: A Continuing Conversation – a yearlong series of events, lectures, performance and exhibitions. The initiative aims to foster a campus-wide dialogue about race and diversity at Clemson. In so doing, we join a national and global conversation about education, diversity and inclusion taking place at higher education institutions across the nation. Sponsored by the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities and the Chief Diversity Office.

About Race and the University

The purpose of "Race and the University" is to create greater awareness of and encourage open conversations about Clemson’s history as it relates to race and diversity. Although Clemson was the first all-white public college in the state to desegregate, it sits on a former plantation worked by slaves and many of its earliest buildings were built by convict laborers.
