Vern Bengtson Iris ChiUSC Roybal Institute Senior Scientists Iris Chi and Vern Bengtson were listed among the top 100 most influential contemporary social work faculty determined using the H-Index, according an article published in the Journal of Social Service Research. Bengston was ranked 5th with an H-Index score of 76, while Chi was ranked 42nd with an H-Index score of 39. Former Roybal Executive Director William Vega was also ranked 10th on the list.
