Get to know the Political Science department better with our new faculty spotlight. This week the spotlight is on Dr. Lori Dickes!

Dr. Dickes is a professor, a self-proclaimed economist at heart, she started at Clemson as a PhD student. In 2013, she became a faculty member (and Program Director of the MPA degree for 8 years!) in the Dept of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management and before moving to the Department of Political Science in 2021. A proud mother of three children, Ally, Tim, and Sam, who are three amazing people, Dr Dickes is always busy!

Fun facts- She has a rare gene that generally shows itself in Olympic, professional and high performing athletes… Which she finds hilarious because she claims to be neither.

She is also closely related to Dwight D. Eisenhower and Johns Hopkins… (smart AND athletic, those are some great genes!)

Get to know the Political Science department better with our new faculty spotlight. This week the spotlight is on Dr. Adam Warber!

Dr. Warber has been with Clemson since August 2002. He teaches undergraduate courses such as The American Presidency, Public Policy, and The American Presidency in Film and Television. He also teaches in the Policy Studies PhD program.

Dr. Warber started his academic journey at Hope College in Holland, Michigan as a double major in History and Political Science. After a senior seminar with Dr. Jim Zoetewey, which greatly influenced his interest in Political Science, he knew he wanted to attend graduate school to study the presidency.

Can you guess which President is Dr. Warber’s favorite??

Congratulations to Anna Gibbs!

Anna will be one of five Clemson students chosen to represent the University at the 20th annual ACC Meeting of the Minds Undergraduate Research Conference this spring at Florida State University.
