2025 SIOP Fellows Announced

Every year, SIOP recognizes members whose research identifies solutions to workplace problems, whose practice changes the course of the field, and whose teaching guides the next generation of I-O psychology. Fellowship is one of the highest honors a member can receive. In 2025, 24 members received Fellow status.

These recipients will be honored during the in-person Opening Plenary at the 2025 SIOP Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado. They will also be individually featured in a social media campaign spanning SIOP’s X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts later this spring.

SIOP has been recognizing the outstanding contributions of members by granting Fellow status throughout its history. To be considered for SIOP Fellow status, a member must be nominated by another member and endorsed by at least three more SIOP Fellows. A member who has been active in the Society for 10 years or more is eligible based on meaningful, sustained, and unusual impact on the field.
