Congratulations to Clemson's most recent Student of the Game, Briggs Murray! Briggs was nominated by not one, not two, but three academic colleges for this recognition! 🥳

An Honors double major in Political Science and Modern Languages, Briggs is an integral part of our campus community. He's a National Scholar, Dixon Global Policy Scholar, Lead Writing Fellow at Clemson's Writing Lab, Editor-in-Chief of The Pendulum, Vice President of Every Campus a Refuge, and member of the CBSHS Student Advisory Board Social Media Committee.

Off-campus, Briggs has spent his summers living and learning in the emerging economies he hopes to serve in the future through a career in public service. As the University's first Boren Scholar since 2018, Briggs studied French in Dakar, Senegal at the West African Research Center. As a Critical Language Scholar, he studied Kiswahili in Arusha, Tanzania.

In all he does, Briggs is a friend and advocate. Way to go, Briggs! 🧡

A strong believer in the Clemson community, Lanier made it her mission to make both incoming students and her orientation ambassador team feel like they belong at Clemson. As Assistant Director of New Student Orientation Averie Johnson-Walls said, "Lanier is truly a once in a lifetime team leader!" Congratulations, Lanier!
