opportunities for students by donating funds to make convention attendance possible for many
of our student members. In recognition of their generosity, we ask all scholarship recipients to
contact their sponsor psychologist as a gesture of gratitude. In an attempt to promote
professionalism, AzPA is asking students to make contact with the sponsor psychologist on
or before October 5, 2015 in order for the scholarship to be awarded. Robyn Hacker at
rlhacker@asu.edu and David Denny at ddenny24@midwestern.edu should be cc’d in this email
