The Richard Pasewark Excellence in Graduate Education Fund will honor Richard's many contributions to UW graduate education.
Richard, more than anyone else, created the graduate program in Clinical Psychology and from that graduate program emerged the UW graduate program in Experimental Psychology. The fund supports graduate students in the department and may be used for travel stipends, support for seminars or workshops, graduate fellowships, or other activities that promote excellence in graduate education within the department.
For the past 12 years, we have used the Pasewark Fund to award one advanced student a semester fellowship that allows them to pursue their research interests, free from other teaching obligations. Previous Pasewark awardees were high performing students who used the semester to do research, travel to present their work at conferences and to finish their dissertations.
We are sure that Richard would be so proud of the students who have won the award that bears his name. Thank you for considering this important fund!
