At this year’s Annual American Psychological Association Convention, CSPP was well represented with 105 presentations and posters by students and faculty! Several of our students’ posters and presentations won awards and many of our faculty were recognized for their achievements (listed below).

Special thanks to Michael Newman and Erica Nogueira for running the CSPP Booth during the convention as well as organizing the Alliant Alumni and Friends Annual Reception. The reception was in good attendance and featured remarks by Russ Newman and Dalia Ducker.

Congratulations to the following CSPP Faculty and Students:

  • Debra Kawahara (CSPP-SD PhD Faculty and Interim Assistant Dean) AAPA Fellow Status
  • Shannen Vong (CSPP-LA Student) Minority Fellowship Program Achievement Award
  • Diane Zelman (CSPP-Hong Kong Faculty) received APA Division 52 Henry David International Mentoring Award
  • John Caffaro (CSPP-LA PsyD Faculty) received APA Division 43 Award for Distinguished Contributions to Family Therapy
  • Rodney Lowman (CSPP-SD Organizational Psychology Faculty) APA Presidential Citation for his impressive efforts in internationalizing multiculturalism, his leadership in the APA as the Chair of the Board of Convention Affairs and as Council Representative of Division 14, and his rejuvenation of Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research (CPJ).Teacher, mentor and advocate for students, Rodney Lowman, PhD has dedicated his professional life to the ethical application of psychological principles in organizational/consultative settings. He has been a vociferous advocate for advanced training guidelines in consulting psychology. His many scholarly works speak to his dedication to leave a body of work for students of consulting and industrial psychology to build upon. Dr. Lowman has worked tirelessly and at times, almost singlehandedly, to transform the Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research into an invaluable source for peer-reviewed articles on organizational and consulting psychology. His most recent book, Internationalizing Multiculturalism: Expanding Professional Competencies in a Globalized World, makes clear that psychology is evolving on a global stage and that psychologists—all of us—need to learn, grow and change to become competent in it.
