Distinguished Scholars Interviews

In June 2017, NASPSPA celebrated its 50th Anniversary and the meeting was held at the Catamaran Resort in San Diego. The meeting had its regular scientific program but many sessions also have an historical flair. As part of the 50th Anniversary, one of the projects we decided to pursue was to interview Distinguished Scholars and find out a little about their scholarly careers. The end goal was to post these interviews on the NASPSPA website with the hope that young professionals in our field will be able to benefit from the wisdom provided, as well as provide an historical overview of NASPSPA. For those scholars that have left us, we will try to get a former student or colleague to contribute.

The interviews were primarily conducted by Penny McCullagh, former NASPSPA President. Questions were developed with the advice of some former Distinguished Scholars.

NASPSPA Distinguished Scholar Award

Purpose: To recognize outstanding long-term contributions in the research areas represented within NASPSPA.
