Awards & Recognition
David Arnold (Wonderlic, Inc.) and Jack Jones (Vangent, Inc.) were both awarded the Professional Contributions and Service to Testing award by the Association of Test Publishers (ATP) at its annual conference in February. The two each received the award for their long-term contributions to the testing industry, including their previous lobbying/educational efforts at the state and federal levels, which have ultimately led to preemployment tests not being evaluated or treated any differently than other employee hiring tools.
Scott Highhouse (Bowling Green State University) and Neal Schmitt (Michigan State University/BGSU) gave keynote addresses at the Annual Conference of the Personnel Testing Council of Northern California in March.
In April, Nathan Kuncel (University of Minnesota) and Scott Highhouse spoke at the conference on higher education admissions entitled “Rethinking Admissions,” hosted by Wake Forest University.
Gary Latham, past president, gave an invited address to EAWOP on the Alliance for Organizational Psychology.
Sara Perry of the University of Houston was awarded the 2009 Meredith P. Crawford Fellowship in Industrial-Organizational Psychology by the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO) during the recent SIOP conference. The fellowship provides a $12,000 stipend to a doctoral student demonstrating exceptional research skills and potential.
