Winners of the SPSP GSC Outstanding Research Award
GSC Yahoo List Serv
Earlier this year the SPSP Graduate Student Committee (GSC) welcomed submissions for our prestigious Outstanding Research Award to recognize cutting edge research conducted at the graduate level. Over ninety eligible candidates submitted a comprehensive spectrum of research from all corners of social and personality psychology. The competition was extremely high but following two closely fought rounds of review (carried out by over fifty student reviewers) five winning applications were identified. Each is the recipient of an award of $500 to defray the cost of travel associated with the conference. Moreover, all winners are offered the opportunity to meet with a mentor of their choice during the conference. We extend our sincere congratulations to this year’s winners:
Erin P. Hennes - New York University
