My youngest will get her degree in May, joining both older siblings and both parents(and too many other family members to count) as Clemson graduates.
But I will still be a Clemson dad; my oldest is working on her PhD, but paying her own way.
So proud of all three; Clemson has prepared them well! I will have one PhD, one certified registered nurse anesthetist, and one physician’s assistant when all is said and done.
Go Tigers!

Seed the 529s now and you’ll be happy you did. “I think” you can put in your kids’ names and they can transfer to their kids down the road. Just a thought, but I’m no expert doctor like PBT!
Congrats and you did right by your kiddos. I’m just about to start the 1st of 3…ugh

I would normally tell you to go out and celebrate but you probably don't have any money left after that check.

Congrats, I'm very familiar with the medical side, and your kids did great and will have awesome careers in both of those chosen fields. My daughter is a Cardiac ICU Nurse at Duke, having graduated from Penn State 3 years ago, and also just completed the first quarter of her MBA program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Great to see our kids flourish. Congrats again!

Congrats! I was writing one to Wake Forest for my daughter and one for Clemson for my son at the same time. My daughter is still a huge Tiger sports fan though. For her Master's degree, she found the most expensive school in the US at the time (at least that is what I thought) ..... Georgetown ..... so we told her she would have to pay for that herself. She took out a student loan, which we still had to subsidize to the tune of 14K a year. She paid off the entire loan in less than 3 years.

Here in FL the bright futures scholly makes it tough to justify sending 'em out of state. Writing room and board checks to UF (oldest son, engineering) and UNF (step-daughter, graphic design) though. One senior and one junior still in high school. The older two better graduate quick...dunno how I'll handle four checks!

That’s a happy day. My son graduated last May, but he is getting his masters now. He is paying for his masters, and he just wrote his last check to Clemson as well.

Fortunate, and I’m sure your kids are very appreciative. I did not have it like that in those days and was going to have to go at it on my own. Got accepted but never went. I hated it then but after many years things have turned out ok for myself. Do my season tickets and try to get down for softball and baseball games as well. Always have felt the part even though I never was. Overall been blessed far more than I deserve. Very happy to read all these posts of kids graduating and hope all of them go out and do great things.
