Calendar of Events Adjacent to Clemson University's campus and nestled on the shores of Lake Hartwell, The Conference Center and Inn at Clemson University is a grand setting for conferences and seminars. The Walker Golf Course Memorial Square was dedicated to the University in February 1993 as a gift from the Class of '44. The square, which is located in front of Mell Hall, features an original life-size bronze sculpture of a student and a soldier sitting back to back, representative of the sudden shift from boyhood to manhood as a result of war. It represents all who attended Clemson and received military training here or in the armed forces and recognizes their contributions to this country. It is used for a number of activities ranging from military ceremonies, receptions, and cookouts.
