Palo Alto University Professor Earns National Recognition
Palo Alto, Calif. (PRWEB) January 05, 2012
Palo Alto University (PAU), a private, non-profit institution announced these days professor Stanley Sue, Ph.D. has been named a 2011 recipient of the Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Trust Award. The award recognizes fifteen distinguished professors from about the United States who have inspired their students to make a difference in their communities, granting every a money award of $ 25,000. The Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award ceremony will take location on Saturday, January 7 at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Ga.
?As my mentor, Dr. Sue encouraged me to pursue ?high impact? investigation and professional activities,? says University of California at Davis psychology professor Nolan Zane, Ph.D. who nominated Dr. Sue for the award. ?When I worked with him as a post-doctoral fellow, he graciously involved me in helping apply to the National Institute of Mental Health to establish the National Study Center on Asian American Mental Health (NRCAAMH). The advanced mental well being research center that I at present direct builds upon a plan of analysis on the mental well being troubles of Asian American populations that had been carried on considering that Dr. Sue established NRCAAMH in 1988.?
Dr. Sue?s analysis has been devoted to the study of the adjustment of, and delivery of mental health services to, culturally-diverse groups. He has received numerous awards in recognition of his investigation and mentoring, including the 2003 American Psychological Association?s Distinguished Contributions to Applied Analysis Award and the 2005 Lifetime Achievement Award from the California Psychological Association. Dr. Sue has also served as Science Editor for the U.S. Surgeon General?s Supplement ?Mental Well being: Culture, Race, and Ethnicity.?
?We really feel extremely fortunate to have Stan at PAU, exactly where he continues to inspire students on a day-to-day basis,? stated Allen Calvin, Ph.D., President of Palo Alto University.
Dr. Sue recently sponsored the formation of a PAU student organization, the Asian Pacific American Psychological Student Association (APASA). ?In honor of his receiving the Beckman award, PAU has established the Palo Alto University Stanley Sue Award, to be given annually to the APASA member who makes the most substantial contribution to the organization over the course of an academic year,? added Dr. Calvin. The first $ 500 money award will be granted Spring 2012.
