CLAM Featured in College Magazine

The Cultural Literacies Across Media course, and the work of its students, are featured in the recent issue of AAH - the magazine of the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities. The article by Sarah Brown features original photos from our students, as well as links to samples of blogs and video. Check out the pdf for the full four-page color spread!

Dr. Constancio Nakuma, Associate Dean - CAAH, is quoted in the article as saying, "“CLAM is a way to teach students how to reflect on the permanent message etched into them while they study abroad, that they are part of a bigger picture. CLAM was designed to help our students learn how to paint themselves into that bigger picture consciously and as true to self as they can."

CLAM Hits Clemson's OIA YouTube Channel

Many of the videos from CLAM students studying abroad have been posted on Clemson's Office of International Affairs YouTube Channel. The exceptional work of our CLAM students is getting international exposure through this channel. Check it out!
