Diversity Spectrum is proud to announce that its Graduate Fellow, Anna
Hickner, has been selected for Stanford University’s Summer
Institute in Political Psychology (“SIPP”).
SIPP is a three-week intensive training program that introduces graduate
students, faculty members, and professionals to the world of political
psychology scholarship. The curriculum is designed to accomplish one preeminent
goal: to produce skilled, creative, and effective scholarly researchers who
will do more and better work in political psychology as the result of their
attendance at SIPP.
Anna became the first Graduate Fellow of Diversity Spectrum in January
2009. She is currently a doctoral student at the Center for
Professional Psychology at GeorgeWashingtonUniversity (“GWU”), where she serves as a first
year representative on the Faculty Committee, as well as acts as a liaison
