Class of 2023 Fellows

Joel Greenstein

In service to the Emeritus College, Joel has served as a member of the Emeritus College Advisory Committee as well as its chair from 2020 to 2021. During his time in this position, he made it his mission to fully fund the Kenelly/Voss Endowment at the $25,000 mark. The endowment was initiated in 2008 and for many years other funds were used to make the contributions awarded in the recipient’s name. Joel currently serves as the liaison from the Emeritus College to AROHE. He took over from Lucy Eubanks, who recommended Joel for this important position. Joel won the Paul M. Fitts Education Award in 2020 from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. In his nomination letter one student wrote: “Dr. Joel Greenstein has received Clemson University’s Industrial Engineering Professor of the Year so many times that the honor has picked up a colloquial nickname of the ‘Joel Greenstein Award‘”.

Imtiaz Haque

In service to the Emeritus College, Imtiaz has led numerous bird walk programs for the Emeritus faculty. He has co-developed a non-credit course on birding and wildlife photography. Imtiaz also encouraged and planned the Emeritus College’s first, of what we hope to be many, overnight adventure in Charleston, SC. He has provided numerous photographs to the Emeritus College to publish as notecards for Emeritus College faculty. Imtiaz was the founding Chair of the Automotive Engineering Department and instrumental in the development of CU-ICAR.

Laura Shick

In service to the Emeritus College, Laura is a member of the Prison Interest Group. Her approach is to help by doing, not just asking. She reaches out to see what the next steps are. In doing so, she was part of the original task force that developed the first symposium that brought colleges and universities together from across the state to explore how we might serve incarcerated individuals. She was also a major contributor to the Moments and Memoirs book that you see before you.

Stephen Wainscott

In service to the Emeritus College, Steve currently serves as a member of the EC Advisory Board. He also chairs the Program and Planning Committee. In that role he has developed several new initiatives including a virtual travel program. In this program, faculty, current and emeritus, share their experiences and travel with recommendations for special “not to miss” sites, itineraries that work and even hotel and food ideas. Steve’s enthusiasm for future programs helps keep the Emeritus College current and interesting for its members.

Sam Wang

Sam Wang serves on the Program and Planning Committee. He was instrumental in re-conceptualizing the space used by the EC for special interest groups. Sam also leads a special interest group on photography. He was also instrumental in the publication you see before you today. Without Sam, half of the images would not have met the requirements for publication. In service to Clemson University, Sam continues to mentor graduate students by serving on masters and doctoral committee.
