Fellows Selection Committee

Call for Fellows Nominations

The Fellows Committee invites nominations for APA Fellow status for members of STP who are also APA members. The Committee is committed to increasing the diversity of Fel­low nominees.  Self‑nominations are welcome. 

The Society’s criteria for APA Fellow Status include the following:

1. Evidence of outstanding teaching
2. Evaluation by colleagues, students, and administrators as a teacher
3. Development of innovative curricula and courses
4. Teaching methods
5. Research on teaching
6. Training of teachers
7. Development of teaching materials
8. Administrative facilitation of teaching
9. Outstanding service to the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and other organizations to foster the teaching of psychology

The nominees will be evaluated on their ability to (a) provide strong letters of endorsement from at least three current APA Fellows and (b) documentation in support of the criteria listed above, but not necessarily in all areas. These endorsement letters and supporting documentation will provide evidence first to the Society's Fellows Committee and subsequently to APA's Membership Committee, Board of Directors, and Council of Representatives that the nominees have met APA's principle criterion for selection to Fellow status, that is, that they have made "unusual and outstanding contribution or performance in the field of psychology."

Send names, complete mailing and email addresses, and telephone numbers for each nominee to Rick Miller at millerrl@unk.edu or Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska at Kearney, Kearney, NE 68849 by October 1, 2007. Nominees will be sent evaluation packets requiring (a) letters of endorsement from at least three current APA Fellows and (b) documentation demonstrating “unusual and outstanding contribution or performance” relating to the teaching of psychology.

Deadline for receipt of completed applications including all endorsement letters and other supporting material is December 15, 2007. Applications completed after that date will be considered during the 2008-2009 selection process.
