Congratulations to Center R.A.s & Social Psychology Students!

The Graduate Student Association recently awarded several prestigious awards to Grant Sawyer Center Research Assistants and to students in the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Social Psychology:
Irem Uz was named Outstanding International Graduate Student
Patrick Bennet was named Outstanding Graduate Student
Alayna Jehle's paper "Prison Culture: A Social Psychological Perspective" was awarded Outstanding Graduate Student Paper.
Congratulations to all these graduate students!  Also, an incoming social psychology doctoral student,
David Flores, has been awarded a UNR first year fellowship.  The university only awards a total of 3 first year fellowships campus-wide, so this is a great honor.   Regarding David's award, Dean of the Graduate School, Marsha Read wrote: "The committee judged Mr. Flores to be an outstanding applicant and highly promising student.  Given the high quality and large number of nominations this year, this successful outcome should be particularly gratifying to both the Social Psychology program and Mr. Flores."
Congratulations also to Center R.A.,
Mara Merlino, whose NSF dissertation grant has been recommended for funding.

"Equal and exact justice to all men, …. and honest
friendship with all nations, …freedom of religion;
freedom of the press; freedom of person under the
protection of the habeas corpus; and trial by juries
impartially selected, these principles form the bright
constellation which has gone before us, and guided our
steps through an age of revolution and reformation."

Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address. March 4, 1801
