My name is Bo Clements. I am a Senior Lecturer and I hold a MS degree in Art Education and Arts Administration from Florida State University. I also hold an ASL Teachers Association (ASLTA) Master Certification. I have taught here at Clemson University since 2017 and I teach ASL 1010 – ASL 3020 courses and several advanced ASL courses like Classifiers and Advanced Deaf Culture. The Clemson spirit uplifts my pride of teaching ASL students. Clemson give me the opportunity to be a great teacher and provide services to students. And, the Clemson Department of Languages has tremendous faculty members. And of course, I am a big sports fan too! Go Tigers!
