The S.C. Arts Commission offers another opportunity for connecting with communities. Clemson's Cooperative Extension Service, with agents and offices in every county, has become a source of ideas as well. Working on these projects has a reality level that is quite different from working on a made-up project in the classroom. When the plans and drawings are completed and the public presentation is made, there is often a celebratory air at town hall. Citizens involved in the process see their visions for their town come to life in the full-color drawings presented by Clemson students.
Local officials get a head start on the details of renovation at minimal cost.
Local newspapers feature the students and their work in front-page stories. And plans created by Clemson students become the visible evidence of education at work. These pages were designed for Netscape 2.0 and higher. Questions or comments about Clemson World Online should be directed to the editor.
