Senior Award Winners
Every year we are fortunate to be able to grant Robert S. Harper winners. The Harper Prize was established in 1987 by friends, colleagues, family, and former students of Dr. Robert S. Harper to honor him at the time of his retirement. The goal of the prize is to recognize and assist a graduating Knox senior who has been accepted into a graduate program in psychology and seems likely to “follow in Professor Harper’s footsteps.” (Note: Bob was an experimental psychologist) We award generally two prizes, one for a student who has been accepted into a PhD program and one who has been accepted into a masters program.
There are also annual Harper Poster Session prizes for the best senior poster.
