“Texas Tech has been my professional home for my entire career and moving away is bittersweet,” Cohen said in a Texas Tech release. “My family and I will greatly miss our many friends and colleagues who have made living in Lubbock so special. I cannot think of a better place to have risen through the ranks and very much appreciate the strong support that my family and I have received from Texas Tech and the Lubbock community since our arrival. This said, we are also very much looking forward to this exciting new opportunity at the University of Mississippi.”
During his time at Texas Tech, Cohen served as the director of the nationally accredited doctoral program in clinical psychology for six years and as department chairman for four years. He received several honors, including the Chancellor’s Council Distinguished Teaching Award, the President’s Academic Achievement Award and the President’s Excellence in Teaching Award. He also was named an Integrated Scholar and was elected into the Teaching Academy. As a researcher, he received more than $1.5 million from funding agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Drug Abuse.
“Lee Cohen has been a wonderful asset to the Department of Psychological Sciences and to Texas Tech,” said W. Brent Lindquist, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. “The department has benefitted greatly from his strategic vision and I will be looking for a chairperson who contributes to that vision. I wish Lee all the best in his new position. He will prove an asset to Ole Miss.”
Cohen will begin his position at Ole Miss in August.
