Clemson's Russian-American Study Abroad Program

Yesterday, we held a cookout for the Russian/French student visitors from Clemson's Russian-American Study Abroad Program at Table Rock State Park in upstate South Carolina. Students from the 2013 class held in Moscow as well as other past classes attended and we invited those that are planning to participate in the program this coming spring. One of the Professors that teaches for the program each year, Dr. Dennis Buffington, flew down from Penn State just to spend time with many of this past students. A special thanks to Olga Layfield and Lyudmila Averianova for all of the hard work they put into preparing the food, including the wonderful Shashlik that Lyudmila marinated and cooked. Marcus and Catrina Pollard and their family came over from Georgia. Marcus taught for us in the program the past two years and he and his family hosted the Russian/French students the past week. Marcus brought his corn hole board game and the students also played some great football before we wound up with pictures over at the waterfall behind the Nature Center at Table Rock. We had a wonderful day! Thanks to everyone that helped make this a special day!
