SPA Instagram takeoverS

Over the next few weeks leading up to the CU-GARS Interview Weekend, some of the program's current graduate students will be doing "Instagram Takeovers" to talk about why they chose Clemson, adjusting to grad school, their assistantships, life at Clemson, and answer any of your questions - except those related to the status of your academic application or assistantship offers.

Be sure to follow the Clemson Student Personnel Association ("SPA") on Instagram and watch their Stories!* (@clem_spa or follow the link below) Check back for dates and times of future IG takeovers and to learn more about the current graduate students and what it is like to live, learn, and work at Clemson. We are excited to show you why we love Clemson and call these hills our home!

*If you can't watch live, look for the Stories highlight on SPA's Instagram page.
