Dr. Robert Sellers received the 2023 Association for Psychological Science (APS) Mentor Award. APS notes that this award “honors the importance of mentoring in our field as well as the dedication and impact of individuals with a distinguished record of teaching, advising, and encouraging students and colleagues.” APS goes on to mention that “in a large-scale mentoring effort, [Robert] is one of the founders of the Black Graduate Conference in Psychology, providing graduate students with access to high-quality feedback on their work, intense professional development, and access to a network of successful academics. In his direct mentoring, Sellers prepares his students to develop programs that make a difference in the world, supports them through personal struggles, and helps them understand and navigate academic spaces as well as the job market. In so doing, he demonstrates rare selflessness and generosity.”
