The Department of Psychology received the 2009 American Psychological Association's Departmental Award for Culture of Service in Psychological Science.
In a letter of congratulations James Bray, President of APA, and Toni Antonucci, Chair of the APA Board of Scientific Affairs wrote, "Your department exemplifies what a culture of service to the discipline should be, through its support of faculty serving on national boards and committees, editing journals, reviewing grant and research proposals, mentoring students and colleagues, participating on university committees, and making psychological science accessible to the general public. The department demonstrates its commitment to service by providing faculty role models and treating service as a valued part of academic activity."
The award will be announced in the November issue of Psychological Science Agenda and will be posted on the Science Directorate web site.
