Project
WISE is
a one-week residential camp for rising 8th grade girls.
Last summer, Project WISE girls performed bypass surgery
on a bovine heart in biology, made cosmetics in chemical
engineering and designed Web pages in computer science.
This summer promises to be just as exciting.
The WISE Experience is a one week camp offered for incoming freshmen females who
plan on majoring in General Engineering, Math, or Science.
The camp is held in July and allows the campers to experience
Science and Engineering and Math classes at Clemson University
before starting their freshman year at Clemson the following
month.

It's a Girl Thing is a program targeting middle school girls in
Anderson School District Five. The middle schools that are involved are Lakeside Middle School, Southwood Middle School, and McCants
Middle School. The goal of the club is to introduce the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in a safe and encouraging
learning environment and to expose girls to nontraditional, educational and professional career fields, while also increasing
self-confidence. In addition to career awareness, It's a Girl Thing provides training in career-supporting skills, such as team work,
oral presentations, social skills, and an exposure to cultural and current events. Meetings are held at the middle schools during
the school day. It's a Girl Thing is funded by the Engineering Foundation and the AAUW Educational Foundation.
The
RISE(Residential Community in Science and Engineering) Program is a learning community for first year students
majoring in engineering
and science.
