IPTAY Student Advisory Board (ISAB)

There are many ways to get involved here at Clemson, but if you love college athletics, there is no better way to be All-In than to serve on the IPTAY Student Advisory Board (ISAB). IPTAY is Clemson’s athletic booster club and is one of the oldest in the country. Since 1934, IPTAY has provided millions of dollars in scholarships for student-athletes and non-athletes alike. It also has provided substantial support for programs and facilities that help Clemson athletics stay among the best in collegiate sports. There are more than 17,000 active members of IPTAY across the country who give their time and money to support Clemson Athletics. In addition, there are more than 8,000 students here at Clemson who are proud IPTAY Collegiate Club members! And if you have ever followed Clemson sports, you know Clemson fans are passionate about their Tigers!

The IPTAY Student Advisory Board is made up of a select group of current Clemson students who serve as liaisons between the student body and IPTAY. ISAB enables IPTAY to connect with the students on campus to better educate the general student body on the organization’s mission to support Clemson student-athletes. ISAB is a fun and exciting way to support your Clemson Tigers, make new friends on campus and be an active part of Tiger athletics! ISAB initiatives include building the IPTAY Collegiate Club brand, growing the membership base and promoting the Solid Orange message on campus.

ISAB Conference Room Campaign

Since 1984, the IPTAY Student Advisory Board has been serving as the liaison between IPTAY and the Clemson University student body. ISAB enables IPTAY to connect with students on campus to better educate the general student body on the organization’s mission to support Clemson student-athletes.

If you are a former member of ISAB we want you to know about our initiative to name a space in the new IPTAY Center! It is our goal to raise $150,000 to name a conference room in this new facility which opened in December 2019! The new facility is the front door of Clemson athletics and provides state-of-the-art space for ISAB and the IPTAY staff to work to provide the very best for Clemson student-athletes.

Below you will see the incentive program including the opportunity to have your name included on the formal recognition within the named space has been laid out for your review. It is important to note that any gift can be paid over a five-year period. In addition, donations of any size are eligible to enroll in a monthly draft. We are excited to have these offerings to both thank you for your support and an opportunity to gear up on your ISAB swag! If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of our team with the contact information provided below. Also, we would like to thank those who have already contributed to this campaign. Go Tigers!
