Submitted November 7, 2000

An MCC faculty member and two students recently won national recognition from Psi Beta, a national honor society in psychology.

Ann Ewing, faculty adviser of the chapter at MCC, was named the winner of the 2000 National Psi Beta/Virginia Staudt Sexton Faculty Adviser Award. Ewing was nominated because of her dedication to helping and encouraging students to successfully attain higher academic goals.

She has been the adviser to the MCC chapter since she founded it in 1989. She was awarded a plaque at a recent American Psychological Association convention in Washington D.C.

MCC student, Jo Thompson, was awarded first place and $500 in the Psi Beta/Allyn & Bacon Publishers National Research Paper Competition. Her paper titled, "Contradictions Between Gender Equality and Parenting Roles in Dual-Career Families," was based on her own experiment and research, in the American PsychologicalAssociation format.

MCC student, Tina Sanborn, was selected to receive the national Carol Tracy/Psi Beta Community Service Award. She was given $25 and a Certificate of Recognition for organizing and implementing a party and other volunteer opportunities at Sunshine Acres Children’s Home in Mesa.
