In recognition of the contributions of Professor W. B. Pillsbury
to the field of psychology and The University of Michigan,
friends, former students and colleagues of Professor Pillsbury
established the Walter Bowers Pillsbury Testimonial Fund.
An annual prize of approximately $500 is awarded to an
undergraduate student in recognition of outstanding research performance in the field of experimental psychology. Experimental psychology is
interpreted broadly in this context, but refers here to method
and implies no restriction on content. To be considered, the
research must involve observations under controlled conditions.
Eligibility for the prize is limited to students of
senior standing who are concentrators in Psychology or Brain, Behavior, & Cognitive Science. All applications will be reviewed by
a subcommittee of the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
Congratulations to Jaye Stapleton and Adam Savine
