Patricia Devine and Eliot Smith Added to SPSP Heritage Wall

The SPSP Fundraising and Development Committee is thrilled to announce the newest inductees to our Heritage Wall: Patricia Devine and Eliot Smith! Their immense contributions to personality and social psychology have left a lasting impact, and we are grateful for their dedication to the field. A special thanks goes out to their colleagues and students whose generous donations made this recognition possible.

Get to know Drs. Devine and Smith by visiting our Heritage Wall page, where we have detailed their work and featured tributes from their friends and colleagues.

The Heritage Fund Initiative was instituted to honor the legacy of our field's most important scholars, by providing a link between generations in personality and social psychology. Funds raised to honor the members of the Heritage Wall of Fame are used to support the Heritage Dissertation Research Award.

Additional donations to the Heritage program can be made here. Please indicate in the comment box which scholar (if any) your donation is intended to honor.

Please note that you can still celebrate scholars who have been added to SPSP's Heritage Wall with a donation to the Heritage Initiative! For more information, visit our Heritage Wall donation page. Please indicate in the comment box which scholar (if any) your donation is intended to honor. Once your donation is processed, you can submit a tribute that will appear on our website, serving as a lasting testament to the honoree's contributions and impact on personality and social psychology.

If you have a scholar you believe would be appropriate to honor on the Heritage Wall and are willing to champion the fundraising campaign, please contact the Fundraising Committee Co-Chairs, Michael Bernstein and Ying Tang with the individual's name, and a short description of why you believe they deserve Heritage Wall status.
