ANNUAL REPORT 2025
We’re Feeling
Presidential
Megan Che, associate professor of mathematics education,
was elected president of the School Science and Mathematics
Association. The association, which will soon celebrate its 125th
year, is a professional community bringing together researchers
and teachers to promote research, scholarship and practice to
improve school science and mathematics.
Darris Means, the Clemson University College of Education’s inaugural
dean’s fellow for rural education, was elected in 2025 by the National
Rural Education Association (NREA) as president-elect designate.
The five-year term will see Means go on to serve as president-elect,
president, immediate past-president, and past-president, all roles that
put him on the NREA’s executive committee. In the role, Means will work
with the rest of the executive committee, the executive board and the
organization’s executive director to develop and implement strategies to
support and elevate rural education across the U.S.
Amanda Rumsey, associate professor in the College, will serve as
president-elect for the Association of Assessment and Research in
Counseling (AARC) for the 2025-26 year, a position currently occupied
by Ryan Cook, also an associate professor in the College.
This unprecedented, consecutive selection of leadership in the AARC
means that Clemson faculty members will greatly impact the counseling
profession’s assessment, research and evaluation efforts over the next
several years. The AARC is the American Counseling Association’s
(ACA) assessment and research arm, making it a highly regarded
association in the counseling profession.
