Vision Statement
The Michelin® Career Center will be recognized nationally and internationally for excellence in developing students for career success.
Mission Statement
The mission of Clemson University’s Michelin® Career Center, through partnerships with employers, faculty and staff, is to empower students to make effective career choices based on realistic self appraisals and comprehension of the world-of-work, resulting in self sufficient graduates who market their education, skills and experiences to achieve life-long career success.
Diversity Statement
The Michelin Career Center as One Clemson strives to educate ourselves and others about the issues of a pluralistic society. We are committed to reaching beyond the views of individuals to value a community that appreciates and learns from each others’ similarities and differences. Our services and programs will seek to create a safe environment that affirms the dignity and worth of each individual regardless of their differences. The Michelin Career Center will set an example of commitment to embracing differences, including those differences that are not visually apparent. We will welcome and serve people regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, religion, socioeconomic status and physical and mental abilities. In addition, we encourage employers to maintain a similar standard of commitment to diversity.
