The Graduate Office announces the Geis Memorial Award. Florence L. Geis was a Social Psychologist with a strong commitment to research on the Psychology of Women and to the mentoring of women graduate students. She left an endowment to fund doctoral students conducting dissertation research in feminist psychology. To qualify for funding, the research must be feminist oriented toward feminist issues and a social psychological methodology. Funding need not be used solely to fund the research project.
