    Psychology Awards & Honors

    Beginning in 1961, the Minnesota Psychological Association has recognized the outstanding graduating Psychology major in the state with the Donald G. Paterson Award. The first winner of the prize was a Hamline University student, and Hamline students have won the prize 20 times, most recently in 2010.

    In addition, the department recognizes our outstanding senior with the prestigious Faith Murray Award, a monetary award generously endowed by a Hamline alum in honor of his aunt, Faith Murray.  

    We also recognize our outstanding junior student with the Donald Swanson Prize, a monetary award given in memory of the founding member of the department.
