Message
from the Chairman
Once again, I write to you with
gratitude for the support you
have provided the Department of
Psychology in fulfilling its mission to
conduct teaching, research and
service activities at the highest
level for our students and the community. This past year,
like most, was another successful year in terms of grants,
publications, and awards for our faculty and students, but
it was also a challenging year of loss and transition.
This past year the Department lost two of the most
important colleagues in the history of our department,
Herb Quay and Chuck Carver.
Herb unquestionably was one of the most influential
voices in the study of developmental psychopathology.
His contributions created the field and represent the
foundation on which much of contemporary child
psychology research is based. We were fortunate to have
him on our faculty from 1974-92 and as Chairman from
1984 until his retirement.
Chuck was not only an internationally distinguished scholar
and one of the most cited psychology faculty members in
the world, but he was also a valued mentor to students
and young faculty. For 45 years Chuck was a guiding
force in the department. Both will be sorely missed.
As a department, we continue to be very proud of our
impressive accomplishments. I hope you enjoy hearing
about the department in the stories that follow. Once
again, let me thank you for your generous support of the
department and its programs over the years, and I look
forward to working with you in the future.
Remembering....
The Department is mourning the loss of two of its own.
Dr. Herbert C. Quay
AUGUST 27, 1927 - MARCH 2, 2019
Dr. Charles S. Carver
AUGUST 19, 1947 - JUNE 22, 2019
