Whitney Shepherd Summer Award Winner

Whitney Shepherd was chosen by the Clinical Child Psychology Nyre Award Committee to receive the Nyre Clinical Child Psychology Student Support Fund due her excellent performance as a student and researcher. Her focus is on how family processes contribute to the development, maintenance, and treatment of youth anxiety disorders.

The Nyre Clinical Child Psychology Student Support Fund is due to a generous donation Dr. Joseph and Kelli L. Nyre. Interest from this endowed fund will provide direct support for student scholarships, travel funding, and research. Currently, proceeds are focused on providing research-related travel funding for students pursuing their Ph.D. in Clinical Child Psychology. This may include funding for travel to collect data or to present findings, or scholarships to receive advanced training related to the student's research-related professional development.
