Megan Gunnar, Regents Professor and Director of the Institute of Child Development, has received the 2014 Association for Psychological Science (APS) Mentor Award for Lifetime Achievement. The award was presented at the 2014 APS Convention Opening Events on May 22 in San Francisco.

APS recently established this annual award to recognize and to honor members of the discipline who masterfully help students and others discover and pursue their own career and research goals. The awards committee cited Gunnar’s work as more than fully representing the intention of this newly created award.
