Nathan W. Perry, Jr. Scientist Practitioner Fellowship

The family of Nathan Perry, Ph.D., has established a fellowship in his honor. Dr. Perry joined the college’s faculty in 1963 and served as chairman of the department from 1977 until his retirement in 1998. He was a leading advocate at the national level for the “scientist-practitioner” model, which called for psychologists to be trained in both the underlying science of the profession as well as in clinical practice. Dr. Perry died Dec. 1, 2007 in Tallahassee.
