A graduate of Georgia Tech in civil engineering, he was the first alumnus to serve as President of the Institute.

The Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, which officially opened its doors in August 2011, is named in his honor. Clough has garnered many other awards and honors, including the title of President Emeritus, two Norman Medals, eight honorary degrees, and membership in the National Science Board.

Personal life and education

Clough was born on September 24, 1941, in Douglas, Georgia, the youngest of three children born to Daniel and Bessie (née Johnson) Clough.<ref name="mag">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="wp">Template:Cite news</ref> Clough's parents ran the local ice and coal plant. After electricity spread to south Georgia, the family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Clough attended City High School.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref> Clough also met his future wife, Anne Olivia Robinson, during this time.<ref name="mag"/> They have two children, Eliza and Matthew.<ref name="mag"/>

Clough entered Georgia Tech in 1959 and earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1964.<ref name="bio">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While an undergraduate at Georgia Tech, Clough participated in the cooperative education program, and was, against his wishes, a surveyor for a railroad company.<ref name="chosen">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Clough was a member of Georgia Tech's chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and lived in their fraternity house on North Avenue for half a year.<ref name="chosen"/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Clough originally planned to receive only a bachelor's degree; however, the faculty encouraged him to pursue a graduate degree, so he continued his education and received his master's degree in civil engineering in 1965.<ref name="bio"/><ref name="thesis-ms-1964">Template:Cite thesis</ref> In 1969, Clough received a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, with the thesis "Finite element analyses of soil-structures interaction in U-frame locks".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="thesis-phd-1969">Template:Cite thesis</ref>

Research

After earning his doctorate, Clough began his academic career as an assistant professor at Duke University in 1969. He joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1974 first as an associate professor and then later as full professor.<ref name="bio"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In 1982, he joined the faculty of Virginia Tech as a professor of civil engineering and served as head of their Department of Civil Engineering for seven years.<ref name="eng">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="asce">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1990, Clough became dean of the Virginia Tech College of Engineering.

Template:See also On September 1, 1994, Clough became the first Georgia Tech alumnus to serve as the President of the Institute, succeeding John Patrick Crecine, and was in office during the 1996 Summer Olympics.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="look">Template:Cite news</ref> In 1998, he separated the Ivan Allen College of Management, Policy, and International Affairs into the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts and the College of Management, which he returned to independent status. This separation was a major organizational change that built upon the large (and controversial) reorganization of the institute by Clough's predecessor.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

During his tenure, research expenditures increased from $212 million to $425 million, computers became required for all students,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and enrollment increased from 13,000 to 18,000 students. Tech also received the Hesburgh Award for support of undergraduate teaching and learning,<ref name="asce"/> and the Institute's U.S. News & World Report rankings steadily improved.<ref>Template:Cite press release</ref><ref>Template:Cite press release</ref><ref>Template:Cite press release</ref>

Clough's tenure was especially focused on a dramatic expansion of the Institute; more than $1 billion was spent on projects to expand or improve the campus.<ref name="look"/> These projects included the completion of several west campus dorms, the manufacturing complex,<ref>Template:Cite press release</ref> 10th and Home, Technology Square,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The Biomedical Complex, the Student Center renovation, the expanded 5th Street Bridge, the Aquatic Center's renovation into the Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center, a new Health Center, the Klaus Advanced Computing Building, and the Nanotechnology Research Center.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Clough also spearheaded research opportunities for undergraduate students, later known as the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP),<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> the creation of an International Plan, and the creation of a fund to make Georgia Tech more affordable for low-income students (the G. Wayne Clough Georgia Tech Promise Program).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The students of Georgia Tech affectionately dubbed him "Funk Masta G. Wayne" during his presidency due to the expansion and growth he encouraged in urban Atlanta, and he was generally known to have a warm and friendly disposition and a distinctive beard.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2006, members of Georgia Tech's college Republican club sued Georgia Tech, aided by the Alliance Defense Fund, in a case known as Sklar v. Clough that lasted until April 2008.<ref name="war">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The students won this case and Georgia Tech was forced to drop their speech code which was deemed unconstitutional and pay the defendants court costs.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Clough stepped down after almost fourteen years as President on July 1, 2008, which he previously announced in an email to students and staff on March 15, 2008.<ref name="departure">Template:Cite press release</ref>

Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

2013 Luce Lunder Editathon

On January 1, 2008, the Smithsonian named a search committee for the position of Secretary.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Clough's primary competition for the position was Acting Secretary Cristián Samper, who had replaced Secretary Lawrence M. Small after Small's resignation in 2007.<ref name="head">Template:Cite news</ref> The Smithsonian's board of regents, whose duties include electing the Smithsonian's secretary, took at least two votes in the Lawyers' Lounge at the U.S. Supreme Court to arrive at their decision.<ref name="head"/>

Clough was elected the 12th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; he was notified via a phone call with regents chairman Roger W. Sant on the afternoon of March 14, 2008.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This decision was announced publicly at a press conference held at the Smithsonian Castle on March 15, 2008.<ref name="head"/><ref name="sec">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Clough assumed office on July 1, 2008, and was officially installed in an academic ceremony on January 26, 2009.<ref name="sec"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His starting salary as Secretary was $490,000, a pay cut from his final compensation package at Georgia Tech ($551,186) and significantly lower than his predecessor, Lawrence Small's annual salary of $900,000.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Upon assumption of his office, Clough made plans to digitize the Museum's collections,<ref name="sec"/> and offer more intensive K-12 educational programming.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In November 2008, for the first time, the Smithsonian opened a board meeting to the public.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He also made efforts to improve the Smithsonian's facilities and long-term planning,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> as well as plans to reorganize and cut back on staff and budget.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In February 2012, Clough's travel expenses were probed by senator Charles E. Grassley,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> despite increased controls; Clough's travel had to been approved by the Smithsonian's chief financial officer as part of the reforms enacted in the wake of alleged abuses by Secretary Small.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On November 30, 2010, Secretary Clough made the decision to remove the David Wojnarowicz video A Fire in My Belly from the National Portrait Gallery's "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture" exhibition. The video artwork was perceived by some to be anti-Christian and Clough believed it detracted from the entirety of the exhibition,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> which he said was "to be a powerful exhibit about the contributions of gay and lesbian artists" and not about "religious iconography" and "desecration".<ref name="interview">Template:Cite news</ref> This decision was widely criticized, but Clough responded that he was protecting the Smithsonian's larger educational mission.<ref name="interview"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After the controversy, the Smithsonian's board of regents appointed an outside panel to examine the decision to remove the work from the exhibition; the panel recommended that art not be removed from shows that have already opened.<ref name="war"/>

On September 18, 2013, after six years as Secretary, Clough announced his retirement, which would be effective October 2014.<ref name=broadway>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In announcing his retirement, he said, "When I became Secretary in 2008, I believed strongly that the Smithsonian had enormous untapped potential, especially in digital technology, to reach millions of people and serve as a resource for those who cannot visit Washington. I am confident that with our initiatives underway in bioconservation, education, digitization and fundraising, this is the right time to announce my plans for next fall so that an orderly transition can begin."<ref name=broadway/>
