Clemson, South Carolina - It is with deep personal sorrow that we note the passing of Dr. Robert W. Snelsire, Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering at Clemson University. Dr. Snelsire was responsible for the founding of the Clemson Career Workshop, the PEER Office, and the Math Excellence Workshop. He was a tireless champion of underrepresented students, as well as a gifted and beloved teacher.

In his role as Founder Faculty member of Clemson Career Workshop in the 1980's, with Dr. Connie Sawyer and Dr. Alan Schaffer, he brought many African American High School Students to campus and give them a taste of College Life at Clemson. Many of those students decided attend to Clemson and even those who didn't; took the experience and use it with their college careers.

Funeral services are scheduled for this Friday, November 20th, at 4:00PM at

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Clemson,

230 Pendleton Road, Clemson, South Carolina
