[Psych-u-l] psych dept seeks self-nominations for Rethis Memorial Award

[Psychology Undergrad List]

Psychology and Biopsychology majors graduating in Spring,

The Psychology Department is seeking self-nominations for the Philip 
Steven Rethis Memorial Award. This award was established in memory of 
Philip Steven Rethis who was awarded a Posthumous Bachelor of Arts 
Degree in Psychology in June 1997. Philip overcame severe disability and 
illness to pursue his studies and worked actively in the Psychology 
Department’s undergraduate and research programs.

The annual award is given to a graduating Psychology or Biopsychology 
senior who has overcome hardships in order to complete his or her 
degree. The criteria as stipulated by the fund are “character”, 
“determination” and “scholarship”. A previous recipient of this award 
was chosen on the basis that he had come from a family of 13 and had to 
support himself throughout his college career. He was forced to drop out 
of school several times and worked 40 plus hours a week while in school.

If you are a graduating Psychology or Biopsychology major and would like 
to nominate yourself for this award please submit a formal letter of 
nomination to my office in Psychology-East 1810 by Friday March 23rd at 
4pm.

Thank you,
Catherine McConney
