ENTER A SEA OF ORANGE
It was a cold and rainy day in Clemson when Matthew Vlacich ’25 realized that Tigertown was the place for him. Despite the poor conditions, the Spikeball Club was out having fun and playing on a muddy Bowman Field. The camaraderie and positivity Matthew felt from students reflected the kind of college community he sought. If campus was still this lively on such a gloomy day, he thought, then what would it look like on a perfect day?
