Initially established in 2001 as a public service unit, YLI was focused on creating and implementing innovative programs for youth. Then in 2015, we were repositioned under Clemson’s Division of Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors. This meant that in addition to continuing to serve individuals in various capacities, our unit was tasked with developing robust research and evaluation focused on human performance and resilience. Annually, CULI serves over 30,000 participants with a $15 million budget that is 100% self-generated and has generated more than $200 million in external revenue since its inception. CULI helps fulfill Clemson’s strategic plan to propel success and strengthen its reputation by being recognized in experiential learning, applied research, and building community throughout South Carolina and beyond. We accomplish this by developing unique public/private partnerships and creating best practice models that maximize the potential for individuals and organizations. Our flexibility allows us to pilot new initiatives that can be evaluated, replicated, and scaled by our partnering agencies. I believe that through our efforts, we further strengthen Clemson University and promote the mission of a land-grant university by serving people, solving real problems, and creating a better tomorrow.
