Awards

At the 2004 Convention, Division 34 established the Proshansky-Newman award (the two names switch position, depending on whether a population or environmental psychologist wins). In 2005, the Division decided that the award would be given for best paper by a graduate student or "junior" scientist, and that the receipient should be a population psychologist one year, and then an environmental psychologist the next. Winners of the award receive a certificate, a scholarship, and the opportunity to present his/her paper at the APA convention.
