The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has instituted Diversity in Research Awards through its Department of Psychology. One of the graduate awards has been named in honor of the Department of Educational Psychology’s Dr. Ernest C. Davenport.

The purpose of the Ernest C. Davenport Award for Outstanding Psychological Research by a Student Who Enhances Diversity is to “encourage and honor students from underrepresented groups who make a contribution to the advancement of knowledge of psychological science”. This award will be given to a graduate student each year.

In conjunction with this honor, Dr. Davenport has been invited to give a presentation to the Department of Psychology at UNC and will present on the “Reliability, Internal Consistency, and Dimensionality in Psychological Assessment”.

On behalf of the Department of Educational Psychology, we wish to congratulate Dr. Davenport on this prestigious honor!
