CBSHS recognizes excellence in research publication

The Clemson University College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences (CBSHS) has recognized faculty from each of its seven departments for outstanding research publications.

Rachel Mayo, associate dean for research in the College, said this distinction was based on research published in the last three years that had the most citations in their respective disciplines.

“Our faculty have not only influenced their field of study through these journal articles but also their peers’ research as their work has frequently been cited,” Mayo said. “I am so proud of the work of these faculty members.”

The below honorees will have a plaque of recognition placed in the first-floor hallway of Edwards Hall.
