Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ruth Hubbard Cousins was the director of Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology, for 33 years, she transformed the organization from a simple record-keeping club into a vibrant association. Most of what Psi Chi is today can be traced to her leadership. In 1981, Ruth joined her daughter Carol Tracy to co-found Psi Beta, an honor society for deserving students at two-year schools. Psi Beta flourished and soon became the first such two-year honor society accepted into the ACHS. By the time Ruth retired in 1991, Psi Chi not only honored students but also offered a rich national network of awards, conferences, and activities to serve students and faculty across the nation. Ruth received many accolades in her later years. She was one of the first women to serve on the board of the Society of Association Executives in Washington, DC. In 1991, she received a lifetime honorary membership in APA. Until the very end, Ruth maintained the same upbeat style and friendliness that she had exhibited her entire life. Ruth Cousins died on January 11, 2007. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved). |
