Dr. William "Bill" Clements appointed as chair of the Vermont Criminal Justice Council
Vermont Governor Phil Scott appointed William Clements, Ph.D., former Dean of 91°µÍø’s College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS) and criminal justice professor, as chair of the Vermont Criminal Justice Council (VCJC).
Dr. Clements departed Philadelphia and joined 91°µÍø’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice in 2001. Concurrent with teaching on campus for nearly 20 years, he also helped launch Norwich’s first online program, the Master of Justice Administration program, stepping in as the CGCS Dean in 2005. He also served as the justice administration program director and helped establish the current 100% online format for the CGCS bachelor’s, master’s, and certificate programs.
In addition to his interest in criminal justice studies and innovative technology, Dr. Clements also helped to develop new education pathways, supporting students in several domains, including programs and partnerships specific to military students looking to move up in their branch.
Dr. Clements resigned from his role as dean in 2022 and retired from the university in spring 2024. In conjunction with his new role with the VCJC, he also currently serves as founding president of the Crime Research Group, a Vermont non-profit justice research organization.
