Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
For the last 25 years, the Clemson University Habitat for Humanity Campus Charter in partnership with Pickens County Habitat for Humanity has been building a house in a two week period to celebrate Homecoming. More than 500 Clemson students and community volunteers participate to construct a house on Bowman Field at Clemson and have it moved to the permanent location after Homecoming festivities. Bowman Field is a high visibility open area at the intersection of the University and the town of Clemson where students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community gather. The prominent location, quick build and relocation of the structure make this a unique effort. This event is an important tradition for Clemson and a way for students to build leadership skills while giving back to the community in a highly visible setting.
