P.W. Schultz Outstanding Thesis Award

The P.W. Schultz Outstanding Thesis Award is given each year to a graduate student whose thesis is judged to be an outstanding scholarly contribution to psychology. At the end of each academic year, faculty who participated in the thesis committees send nominations to Dr. Wes Schultz, Emeritus Professor of Psychology. Nominations are based largely on independence in developing and implementing the research. Dr. Schultz evaluates and selects a winner from among the nominations. This award is designed to honor the highest quality work by graduate students in the Psychological Science MA program at CSUSM and builds the department’s research capacity by supporting a culture of exemplary research.
