One of UMass Boston’s doctoral programs has reason to celebrate. The clinical psychology doctoral program received one of only three Suinn Minority Achievement Awards given this year by the American Psychological Association (APA). Associate Professor of Psychology Joan Liem, who also is director of the doctoral program, accepted the award on its behalf at the APA’s annual convention in San Francisco on August 26.
The National Suinn Minority Award recognizes the doctoral program’s
success in “recruiting, educating, supporting, retaining, and graduating
significant numbers of ethnic minority doctoral students.” This
national recognition is even more significant to the program because
most award-winning programs have lengthier histories. The program accepted
its first class in 1989, and since 1995, 18 ethnic minority students
have received doctorates in clinical psychology. Liem and Cass Turner
have shepherded the program for the past 12 years and share the success
of program with other clinical and non-clinical faculty, as well as
with the graduate students themselves.
