CLEMSON UNIVERSITY MEN OF COLOR NATIONAL SUMMIT For five years, Clemson University has hosted the Men of Color National Summit with the goal of bridging the opportunity gap for African-American and Latino young men. In 2021, we’re proud to celebrate half a decade of hosting dynamic keynote speakers and engaging breakout sessions, facilitating life-changing relationships and networking opportunities by bringing together high school and college students and business and community leaders from around the country. The two-day summit, presented by the University’s Division of Inclusion and Equity, has been made possible by sponsors such as the City of Greenville and Greenville County, who have recognized the critical need for this initiative in Upstate South Carolina. In 2020, after a period of interrupted school schedules, less face-to-face time with students, the strain of a global pandemic and heightened racial tensions, the need for collectively empowering young men of color is especially urgent. Join us by supporting the work of Clemson University, as we help prepare our next generation of community leaders by building bridges and creating clearer pathways to higher education. We look forward to another sold- out event and to celebrating five years of tremendous work by Clemson University and our community partners.
TIGER ALLIANCE
THE HEART OF THE SUMMIT
Tiger Alliance is Clemson University’s bold step to help empower, enlighten, and develop African-American and Latino young men
by emphasizing the importance of education and sharing best practices to increase high school and college graduation rates.
High school students from across the Upstate of South Carolina are selected to participate in the Tiger Alliance, with the Men
of Color National Summit being the kick-off to the program each year. During the year, the Tiger Alliance participates in college
fairs, mentoring relationships with current Clemson student ambassadors, college preparation sessions and college tours. These
young men are the inspiration for the creation of the summit.

“Because my parents told me, ‘Be different than everyone else – make a change, be the best you.’
