Eta Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha

Grateful to travel back to Clemson University for the J. Daniel and Nancy Garrison Sales Innovation Program Partner Day classroom presentations and Pitch Competition earlier this week. So special to connect with current students as an alum and share the experience with a great Otis Elevator Co. team!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've accepted a position as an Associate - Private Market Clients at Third Bridge in Dallas! In a world where the best decisions require relentless curiosity, I'm joining a team obsessed with connecting knowledge to opportunity. Here's to diving deep and thinking differently!

I’m thrilled to share that after the Spring 2025 semester, I’ll be interning with Seamon Whiteside at their Mount Pleasant office! This opportunity will allow me to strengthen and refine my AutoCAD skills. I’m excited to continue growing my expertise in site design and development as I approach graduation this December!

As I begin my final semester at Clemson University, I would like to share my updated portfolio from the past two semesters. The first project I would like to highlight is a design for a new community center in Plantersville, SC. In collaboration with Charles Treadway and under the guidance of Professor Rayshad Dorsey, this center's goal is to unite the elders and the youth of the community under one roof. The second and more recent project was designed with help from CJ Duff and Professor bradford watson. This project's focus was on the housing crisis in Charleston, SC. The goal was to provide over 1,000 new housing units to the area, while relating back to Charleston's unique scale and rhythm.

I am thrilled to share that upon completing my Masters of Science in Computer Science from Clemson University this May, I will join The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) as a participant in the THRIVE IT Engineering Leadership Rotational Program. Through the THRIVE program, I’ll have the incredible opportunity to receive mentorship from some of our nation’s brightest innovators and leaders, working on the cutting edge of technology. I’ll gain hands-on experience across key IT domains, including network engineering, application development, system administration, and cybersecurity. This opportunity is not just a major career milestone, but a chance to make an impact on America's future. I’m eager to embrace this challenge. Thank you to all who have supported me on this journey. Here's to the next chapter with Johns Hopkins APL! #JohnsHopkinsAPL #NewBeginnings

I'm thrilled to share that I have graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Marketing and will start a new chapter as a Business Development Representative at Premium Merchant Funding in their New York City office. A huge thank you to my professors and mentors at Clemson University, who have guided me throughout my academic journey, and thank you to Kaitlyn V. for her incredible support during the interview process. I look forward to contributing to the team and growing professionally in this dynamic industry.

I am grateful and excited to share that I have accepted an offer with Truist for their Leadership Development Program - Credit Track in Atlanta, Georgia! I want to thank Travis Wright, M.Ed., for his guidance and support throughout the recruitment process, as well as everyone else who provided encouragement and advice along the way. This opportunity perfectly aligns with my passion for financial management and my commitment to personal and professional growth. I'm thrilled to start this role in July 2025 and contribute to Truist's mission to build better lives and stronger communities!

As this fall semester at Clemson finishes up, I am excited to share some exciting personal and professional milestones! First off, my group and I proudly was awarded best presentation and sales pitch in the Salesforce Pitch competition where we pitched the CRM platform to a mock Otis Elevator Co. sales team. This presentation comes at the end of an amazing semester in professional selling, one of the most impactful classes I have had here at Clemson. Not only did we learn the sales process, SPIN selling, and participate in engaging real world sales role plays, but we also learned invaluable lessons about professionalism, communication, and life as a whole. A huge thanks to Carter McElveen for teaching such an amazing class, and congrats to my fellow group members Carson W. Grainger, Touseef Suleman, Carter Myers, Max Yale, and Jonathon Nielsen! Before Thanksgiving I also had the opportunity to be initiated into Omicron Delta Kappa and Order of Omega Honor Society. Omicron Delta Kappa is a national honor society dedicated to recognizing students who are top leaders in scholarship, athletics, service, mass media and performing arts at the University and in the community. Order of Omega is a greek honor society that consists of the top 5% of all greek students across the country, and promotes the pillars of character, leadership, scholarship, and service. I am very grateful for all of these opportunities that Clemson has given me, and I can't wait to see what the future holds! Go Tigers ??

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a 2025 Commercial Construction Internship with Carroll Daniel Construction in Gainesville, GA. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to get started!

Building the bonds of brotherhood! Executive Vice President Justin Buck had the honor of visiting Eta Alpha Chapter (Clemson)! During his trip, he connected over breakfast with one of our newest brothers, Charlie McGee.
