Professor Craig Neumann's research on psychopathy has recently been selected for funding by the William H. Donner Foundation. His research project titled, Psychopathy Across the Globe, involves one of the largest and far reaching studies on psychopathy to date, based on several world-wide mega-samples. The significance and prestige of this support is highlighted by the fact that the The Donner Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals. Only applications invited by the Foundation are considered for support.

Congratulations to the following graduate students who have been awarded travel money to support dissemination of their research findings via professional presentations at national conferences:

Kelly Duron (Clinical): National Latina/o Psychological Association conference

Amanda Adcock (Clinical): Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies conference

Kyle Page (Counseling): Gerontological Society of America conference

Joshua Fish (Experimental): Gerontological Society of Amercia conference
