Psi Chi Service Projects
Tribute to Dr. Robert Youth (1942–2009)
Psi Chi National Council Past-President (2005–06)
The Psi Chi National Office was saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of Dr. Robert Youth on February 11, 2009. Dr. Youth served on the Psi Chi National Council from 2001–07. Dr. Youth was recently named the recipient of the 2009 Denmark National Faculty Advisor Award. He would have received this honor at the APA/Psi Chi National Convention in Toronto in August.
Dr. Youth was instrumental in making food drives a Psi Chi national service project for chapters. In honor of Dr. Youth, the Psi Chi National Office would like to encourage its chapters to hold a food drive in his memory. Chapters may submit the number of pounds of food donated and the name of the organization to which the food was donated in Dr. Youth’s memory in the Chapter Annual Report.
