PRESIDENT’S UPDATE:
I am writing to update SPSP members on the summer meeting of the SPSP Board of Directors, which was held on August 9-10 immediately following the APA convention in Toronto. Most of our time was spent on details involving the work of the various committees that oversee the convention, the convention program, student members, publications, awards, diversity and climate, fellows, training, and so on, along with topics related to the SPSP administration and budget. However, I want to mention two specific issues about which you may have questions.

The Foundation for Social and Personality Psychology, in collaboration with
SAGE Publications, is pleased to announce the 2016 SAGE Young Scholars Awards.
These awards recognize outstanding young researchers in personality and

Five awards will be formally presented at the SPSP Annual Meeting in January to young scholars representative of the broad spectrum of personality and social psychology research areas.
