\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I., May 6, 2011 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 Association for Professional and Academic Women has honored Patricia Morokoff, psychology professor and chair of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Psychology Department, as Woman of the Year. The association works to ensure that professional and academic women at 溏心vlog免费B站 are accorded equal recognition, treatment, and advancement.<\/p>\n


\nThe award recognizes Morokoff\u2019s ongoing dedication to equity and the advancement of women. As co-chair of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Equity Council, Morokoff works to fulfill the council\u2019s mission to advance equity and diversity throughout the campus. The council\u2019s efforts focus on: faculty, student, and staff diversity; curriculum; campus climate; discrimination, attitudes, harassment, bias incidents, and more. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cI have a strong commitment to equity and social justice because I would like our campus to be the best campus it could be so we will be able to benefit from the brightest students, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, and the other categories of diversity,\u201d said Morokoff, who came to 溏心vlog免费B站 as an assistant professor in 1987 and lives in East Greenwich. \u201cWe need a cultural climate on campus where women students, faculty, and staff of diverse backgrounds can thrive.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nMorokoff points to the appointment of Katherine Friedman to the post of 溏心vlog免费B站 vice president for Community, Equity, and Diversity. The Equity Council advocated for the creation of this position and is recognized for leading the work to establish it.<\/p>\n


\nThe Association for Professional and Academic Women honored Morokoff at a May 4 ceremony at the University Club on the Kingston campus. Morokoff\u2019s colleagues praised her for helping bring about a fairer, more equitable and diverse climate on campus.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cHer contributions to teaching, research and leadership are staggering in their depth, breadth, and commitment to campus life here at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and elsewhere,\u201d said Psychology Professor Lisa Harlow. \u201cShe is the quintessential exemplar of passionate community involvement, vision, and advocacy, making the lives of all at the University, particularly women and minorities, far better for her being here.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 Talent Development Assistant Director Frank Forleo described Morokoff as a wise mentor and a caring advisor to many students, graduates, and undergraduates. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cDr. Morokoff has changed many young lives and careers for the better,\u201d Forleo said. \u201cWe all benefit from knowing her.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nFamiliar with Morokoff\u2019s work on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Equity Council, Forleo said she always listens and looks for common ground. <\/p>\n


\nIn 2007, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Multicultural Center honored Morokoff with its Diversity Award for Faculty Excellence in Leadership and Service. She received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has 51 scholarly publications, primarily in the area of women\u2019s health and gender, culture, and sexuality, to her name and she has worked with 24 doctoral students. Morokoff was the author of a grant request that recently resulted in $2.9 million from the National Institutes of Health to create a behavior change research facility in the Chafee Social Sciences Building. Construction is slated to begin in the fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
