The Luther F. Fant Student Chapter of the Institute of Transportation Engineers mourns the loss of our namesake. Mr. Fant was a 1955 graduate of Clemson majoring in Civil Engineering. He was a career SCDOT employee who worked tirelessly to improve the safety and efficiency of our state highways. He was a Registered Professional Engineer and in 1987 received the South Carolina Transportation Engineer of the Year award from the South Carolina Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. His legacy and his support of our student chapter will never be forgotten.
Congratulations to the Clemson ITE Student Chapter for winning 1st place in the SDITE Chapter Report Competition! We would like to thank everyone for their hard work this year!
