Psychology faculty member Dr. Beth Wee has received the John Stibbs Award for Outstanding Faculty Member from Tulane’s undergraduate Student Government. Also, in the fall 2011, Dr. Wee was the recipient of the Barbara E. Moely Service Learning Teaching Award.
In a report by Carol Schlueter for the Tulane news, Dr. Wee is described as “an excellent example of a Tulane scholar” who harmoniously combines teaching and community engagement,” by the assistant director of faculty training.
Wee designed a course called “Bringing Research to the Community.” In Wee’s Brain and Behavior course students learn about neurological issues and then work in hospitals and nursing homes to assist in care and to fully understand what they have learned in the course.
The Barbara Moely Award is named after professor emerita in psychology, Dr. Moely, who was an early proponent of community service and involvement.
