CAAH welcomes new faculty members for 2018-19

The 2018-19 academic year brings many new faces to the faculty ranks in the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities.

“I continue to be impressed by the caliber and qualifications of the faculty members who are joining our College this fall,” said Dean Richard E. Goodstein. “We are proud to have these scholars sharing their knowledge in the classroom with our majors and with the entire Clemson University community through the many general education classes we offer.”

Goodstein stressed that small class sizes allow those instructors to leave an even larger impact. Nearly 80 percent of the classes offered in CAAH are offered to 20 or fewer students, he said.
