Psychology graduate student receives AABHE grant

Psychology graduate student, Lenwood Hayman, receives American Association of Blacks in Higher Education conference grant.

The American Association of Blacks in Higher Education (AABHE) annually awards conference attendance grants to African American students enrolled in doctoral programs at colleges and universities throughout the United States. The goals of the award process include (1) to involve African American doctoral students in this (AABHE) professional organization; (2) to showcase the research of African American doctoral students; (3) to introduce new African American scholars to the academy; and (4) to introduce to the academy cutting edge research and new hot button topics.

The award includes full conference registration, a one-year paid membership into the AABHE, and a $1200 cash prize. Lenwood Hayman is only the second person from Wayne State to win this award (a gentleman who received his Ph.D. from sociology was the first back in 2001).

Lenwood will get to make a brief presentation at the conference on his work, moderate a round-table session on what life is like as a graduate student, and will be recognized at the awards luncheon at the conference.
