The “Climb Higher” campaign is a campus celebration of the way faculty and staff exceed expectations and make West Virginia University better.

“Clayton has brought energy, dynamism and enthusiasm to his interactions with colleagues and students in the Coaching and Teaching Studies department. He is an innovative faculty member, who truly cares about the education of his students. Clayton also makes his classes challenging, but at the same time fun, through his engaging teaching style.

“Although employed as a teaching professor he has helped on multiple research projects with colleagues and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure his colleagues, both faculty and staff, and students reach their goals. He truly is the epitome of one who climbs higher.” 

Each week in Mountaineer E-News the university announces faculty or staff members who are going the extra mile to help WVU grow in impact and stature.
