This special event recognizes excellence within the GSAPP community.
The Peterson Prize honors an alumna/alumnus who has made exceptional contributions to professional psychology, including innovations in service delivery, training, work with underserved communities, or other impactful efforts that promote societal well‑being. Named for GSAPP’s inaugural dean, Dr. Donald Peterson—whose career uniquely spanned leadership across research-oriented, academic, and professional psychology programs—the award reflects his legacy of advancing the field through both scholarship and practice.
