Clemson University to graduate 1,130, honor astronaut Charles Duke
CLEMSON — For the first time, Clemson University will hold two ceremonies for its winter graduation. About 1,130 students will graduate Dec. 20 in Littlejohn Coliseum.
At 9:30 a.m., degrees will be awarded to graduates in the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences; College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities; and College of Engineering and Science. At 1:30 p.m., the College of Business and Behavioral Science and the College of Health Education and Human Development graduates will receive their diplomas.
Two noteworthy female graduates will march across the stage. Published author, noted speaker and television show host Raven Magwood of Greenville will graduate at age 19. Ala Qattawi will make history as the first woman in the country to earn a Ph.D. in automotive engineering.
Clemson officials also will award an honorary Doctorate of Science degree to Charles Moss Duke Jr., the 10th man to walk the moon and an American hero.
Duke serves as chairman of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. With support from more than 100 astronauts, the foundation has awarded $3.5 million in scholarships since 1984 to help the United States “retain its world leadership in science and technology.” Clemson is one of only 20 universities selected to nominate students for the scholarships.

Is Mr. Duke going to be the speaker, or is Barker going to relay how he feels a special bond with this class?

he had a twin brother Dr. Billy Duke that lived his whole life in Lancaster. I'm not sure if any of Charlie's kids went to Clemson but he has had many nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews graduate from Clemson. Some of the nicest people you would ever meet.
