NSU Represented by Faculty, Students, Alumni at APA 2018 Convention
NSU College of Psychology faculty received awards and students presented research as part of the 126th annual American Psychological Association (APA) conference from Aug. 9-12 in San Francisco.
The college’s Clinical Psychology doctoral program was recognized with the Richard M. Suinn Minority Achievement Award. The award, based on student nominations, recognizes programs that demonstrate a commitment to recruiting, training, and graduate students of color.
“I think this is the culmination of a lot of efforts over the last quarter of a century in the recruitment and retention of both faculty and students who are diverse,” said Professor John Lewis, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Clinical and School Psychology.
Lewis said the nomination by students was also important.
“It’s a testament to the fact that students feel this is a good program for working in the multicultural field,” he said.
Also at APA, Professor Gene Cash, Ph.D., was honored with Division 16’s Jack Bardon Distinguished Service Award. The award recognizes major leadership and contributions to the field of school psychology and research that has advanced the field, or the development of new training programs for school psychologists.
“For me, it recognizes the creation of the clinic for school psychologists at NSU, it recognizes my work in advocacy, and my work in associations,” Professor Gene Cash said. Original story and videos: https://psychology.nova.edu/news-events/2018/apa2018.html
