The Charles G. McClintock Graduate Fellowship Fund was established as a tribute to Charles (Chuck) G. McClintock, a man who contributed, in one way or another, so generously to his graduate students and colleagues. In 1956, Chuck was hired as the first social psychologist at UCSB. The fund will serve as a permanent recognition of his contributions to social psychology, to the UCSB graduate program in social psychology, and to individuals who benefited from knowing him.

The Harry J. Carlisle Memorial Award was established in 2003 in recognition of the important contributions made by Professor Harry Carlisle, a long-time faculty member in Psychology. Harry received his B.A. and M.A. in Psychology from UCSB. He received a joint Ph.D. in Psychology and Physiology from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1964. Harry returned to UCSB as an Assistant Professor in 1965. He became a Professor in 1977, a post he held with distinction until his retirement in 2001. The criteria for this award include those qualities exemplified by Harry: sound scholarship, a strong research record, and a concern for others and the functioning of the N&B area.
