Tigers unite at Clemson to save Wild Tigers

The tiger is one of the most common college mascots in the country. It also is one of the most endangered animals in the wild. Students at Clemson University are calling together their fellow collegiate “tigers” from across the country to a summit April 19-21 to discuss tiger conservation. The Clemson student organization Tigers for Tigers (T4T) reached out to 57 different colleges that use the tiger as a school mascot to form the National Tigers 4 Tigers Coalition. The coalition now has 13 member schools: Princeton University, Louisiana State University, Auburn University, the University of Missouri, Trinity University, Doane College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Savannah State University, Colorado College, Hampton-Sydney College and SUNY-Cobleskill. Students from those schools will gather at the summit to share ideas and learn from tiger conservation experts. For more information, visit www.t4tcoalition.org.
