Professor Receives Top Honors for Mentoring
The American Psychology Association announced today that a Colorado State University professor will be the 2011 recipient of The Strickland–Daniel Mentoring Award.
Professor Silvia Sara Canetto, a professor of Psychology focusing primarily in women’s studies, has been granted this award due to her achievements in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students at CSU.
The award is presented to individuals who excel in coaching and consulting their students in the field of psychology, allowing them more confidence and giving them a better understanding of their future.
The APA’s Division 35 is dedicated to individuals, both men and women, who are focusing in the area of feminism and who dedicate their studies to the psychology of women.
The recipients are nominated in early May by a selection of their peers.
Canetto’s specialty in gender issues and suicide research is recognized around the world. Canetto was born in Italy and is a graduate of Northwestern Medical School.
“She believed in my abilities when I didn't. This newfound confidence geared me to ask questions in class, discuss new topics with friends, and dare to express my passions with others. Upon graduation, I’ll leave CSU practicing new skills, with my head held high.” said one student.
Canetto has received many awards in the past for her outstanding achievements in the field of psychology, including the Hazaleus Award and the Cermak Advising Award, both prestigious triumphs for a professor at CSU.
Interesting and very relevant to students on campus. Good research on the award and stuff! It would have helped a lot to get some additional sources and quotes, though. Especially up near the beginning of the article.
ReplyDeleteThis is an intriguing story, especially to people who are interested with the goings on of CSU. It is good to give this professor the acknowledgements she deserves, well written.
ReplyDeleteYou could do a quick profile/bio box of this professor: her main accomplishments, a few fun facts about what school she went to and her work. You could also do a questionnaire-type fact box where she just answers some fun and quick questions about herself.
