Clemson University Call Me Mister Project

The mission of the Call Me MISTER (acronym for Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models) National Initiative is to increase the pool of available teachers from a broader more diverse background particularly among the State's lowest performing elementary schools. Student participants are largely selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The Call Me MISTER program is contributing to the talent pool of excellent teachers by identifying and supporting students like Mr. Mark Joseph (shown here), who are literally "touching the future" by teaching children. Mark's teaching degree was made possible through the Call Me MISTER program.
The project provides: Tuition assistance through Loan Forgiveness programs for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study in teacher education at participating colleges. An academic support system to help assure their success. A cohort system for social and cultural support.
“Call Me MISTER” was developed by some of our State’s visionary educational leaders who sincerely believe we can build a better tomorrow by getting you involved today.

To be selected you must demonstrate:

Moral Force of Character

It's the bedrock of our culture. Integrity. Empathy. Humility. Maturity. Generosity.

Scholarship

It's not so much the student we look for, it's the scholar. The one who's about more than grades and test scores. The one for whom learning is an appetite rather than a means to an end.

Physical Vigor

It's as simple as a demonstrated commitment to an active lifestyle. Captain of the team isn't necessary. The team isn't necessary, for that matter. But the dedication to fitness and physical activity is.

Leadership

It may not be what you think.

We're not looking for a title. We're not looking for popularity. We're not even looking for a role. We're looking for courage and action.

Morehead-Cains initiate. They act and they impact. They influence and they inspire
