CBSHS leadership recognizes faculty scholarship

The College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences (CBSHS) is celebrating faculty research through recognition of selected outstanding journal publications. College leaders will recognize each faculty member responsible for the work with a plaque, to be displayed outside of the dean’s office in Edwards Hall.

This is the third group of faculty members who have been recognized for their recent publications. Each year, college leaders select an outstanding journal publication per department to receive this recognition.

CBSHS Interim Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Rachel Mayo said she is proud of the faculty who have been recognized and the impact their scholarship has made on their fields of study.

“Our college has a robust research focus to help achieve the mission of building people and communities,” Mayo said. “It’s important for us to recognize faculty for their outstanding work that has influenced their field of study on a national and international level.”
