ISAB: Current Students

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 22,000 active members of IPTAY across the country who give their time and money to support Clemson Athletics. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 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.
