Abstract
Memorializes Eileen Gavin (1931-2024). She inspired a countless number of undergraduate women as a dedicated teacher of psychology, motivating her colleagues to dedicate an award in her honor at the University of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she spent her entire career. A former colleague, Dr. Lynda Szymanski, describes Eileen's impact: "She was a powerful voice for challenging students with a rigorous curriculum grounded in the liberal arts. She cared deeply about student learning and growth, and she had a major impact on thousands of students' lives." During the 1970s, she was deeply involved in launching APA Division 36 (originally called PIRI, "Psychologists Interested in Religious Issues"), noting that her most enjoyed professional service was program chair for its inaugural American Psychological Association program. Eileen had the relational gifts that quietly fuel academic organizations by supporting both participation and scholarly excellence. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
