摘要
纪念艾琳·加文(1931-2024)。作为一名敬业的心理学教师,她激励了无数的女大学生,促使她的同事们在明尼苏达州圣保罗的圣凯瑟琳大学为她设立了一个奖项,她在那里度过了整个职业生涯。她的前同事琳达·希曼斯基(Lynda Szymanski)博士描述了艾琳的影响:“她是一个强有力的声音,用严谨的文科课程挑战学生。她非常关心学生的学习和成长,她对成千上万学生的生活产生了重大影响。”在20世纪70年代,她深入参与了美国心理学会第36分部(最初称为PIRI,“对宗教问题感兴趣的心理学家”)的成立,并指出她最享受的专业服务是担任美国心理协会首届项目的项目主席。艾琳有一种人际关系的天赋,通过支持参与和学术卓越,悄悄地为学术组织提供了动力。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
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).
