Industry and Community Partnerships
At the College of Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences, we are driven by a commitment to improve individual and community well-being through education, research and service. Our partnerships with industry leaders, community organizations and public institutions play a vital role in this mission.
Through these partnerships, we create opportunities for applied research, clinical and field placements, internships, talent acquisition, workforce development and community-based initiatives. These partnerships enrich our students’ academic experiences, prepare them for impactful careers and contribute to solutions for today’s most complex challenges.
CBSHS supports strategies aimed at students, faculty, and industry and community partners to nurture these partnerships and impact lives statewide and beyond. These efforts are guided by the Industry and Community Partnerships Committee.
We welcome industry and community organizations to connect with us to build relationships that benefit our partners, enrich student learning and create real-world solutions. Please reach out to Ed Bowers at edmondb@clemson.edu to discuss ideas and opportunities, or see the links below.
