They are available to offer help and advice to the university administration.
Bradley, who has been a member of the Board of Visitors seven years and its executive committee three years, said the members of the board are passionate about the university “and especially our product: a well-educated, well-round young person who will make a difference in the world.”
He and his wife, Mary, have been longtime supporters of Clemson. They have provided funds for the Creative Inquiry student projects and the Phil and Mary Bradley Award for Mentoring in Creative Inquiry. Through a family trust they also helped fund of the clubhouse in the WestZone at Memorial Stadium.
Bradley also serves in the Clemson University Foundation and is active in the Clemson Lowcountry Club.
