The Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology claims a rich history as a preeminent professional school of psychology. As we mark our 45th year, we also begin a new chapter guided by our strategic plan, Excellence: Inspire. Prepare. Excel.

Over the past two years, we have come together as “One GSAPP,” and I am excited to continue our journey together as we work to retain our standard of excellence, continue to serve the vulnerable, and lead with the innovative practices that are the hallmark of our acclaimed program.

The weeks ahead will be filled with special moments of celebration as we both remember our past and build our future, culminating on October 26, 2019. I invite you to join your friends and colleagues and attend our 45th-anniversary gala event https://gsapp.rutgers.edu/gala. The weekend will be filled with festive and commemorative activities, including recognition of three distinguished honorees. I look forward to seeing you there!
