Gail DePriest, MA

I teach Innovation & Creativity in the MBA for Entrepreneurship Program at Clemson University. Some of my other classes include: Advanced Leadership as well as Leadership & Ethics. My grandparents provided a firm foundation of Christian faith in our family. I am so grateful to be part of Faculty Commons - Christian Professors at Clemson. My hope in teaching in the Clemson MBA is to support students in using their gifts to find purpose, achieve their dreams and make a positive impact in the world.
