Gordon
Allport Award
The Department of Psychology invites self-nominations from junior
psychology students at St. Olaf College for the annual Gordon
Allport Psychology Award. It was established in 1983 by Professor
Olaf Millert, one of Dr. Allport's students, to honor Dr. Allport's
memory and continuing impact on the psychological profession and
on the lives of persons of good will, regardless of race or national
background. For more information on how to apply go to:

Graduation with
Distinction in Psychology
Distinction is an honor that a small number of majors each year
receive for having performed exceptionally well in the major,
as evidenced by submission of an outstanding portfolio highlighting
his or her own development and performance as a student of psychology.
The standards are high for distinction, so if you choose to submit
a Distinction Portfolio for consideration, you will need to put
time and energy into crafting and revising it. Many students who
do not receive distinction go on to fine graduate schools and
careers. For more information on how to apply for Distinction
go to:
