Dear Friend of the Psychology Department at Washington University;

We’ve just completed a special project that may be of interest to you.  We have written A History of the Department of Psychology at Washington University: 1924-2006.  This book covers major events in our department from its founding in 1924 up through the current situation in our department today.  Whatever your connection to psychology at Washington University, you should find something of interest in this book.  You may obtain a copy of this book by making a $100 donation to the Psychology Gift Fund.   

Several of you have already made contributions to the Psychology Gift Fund.  These funds provide the department with flexible resources that we can use in creative ways to improve the experiences of the students, faculty, and staff in Psychology.  For example, we use these funds to provide research awards to students, teaching awards to faculty, and to fund student travel to scientific conferences.  We have also drawn on these funds to purchase computers for student use and to buy video recording equipment for use at our Psychological Services Clinic for student training. 

The Psychology Gift Fund is an important and flexible resource for us to make the Psychology Department a more vibrant and interesting place for all.  Please consider making a donation to this fund and, in return, obtaining a copy of our recently completed A History of the Department of Psychology: 1924-2006.
