focuses on children and families. For his dissertation, Kellison is investigating how gay male and lesbian parents cope with anti-gay attitudes and discrimination. “In the long-term, I hope to use my data to create a culturally relevant intervention for these parents,” he says. Kellison is a former chair of the Div. 44 (Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Kellison Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) Health Initiatives Task Force and a member of the APAGS Committee on LGBT Concerns. Goals: During his term, Kellison will reach out to APAGS members to identify the most important issues facing students, and he’ll strive to keep them abreast of APAGS’ work on their behalf. Kellison also plans to build coalitions with other student organizations and APA divisions to solve such knotty problems as the internship crisis, he says. In his downtime: An avid world traveler, Kellison recently visited several Caribbean countries. A highlight: Climbing the Mayan Xunantunich temples in Belize. “My all-time favorite event is opening day at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan,” he says.

Wilson will also reach out to scienceand practice-oriented students to ask them how their programs could better prepare them for psychology careers, and he’ll communicate those ideas to education leaders. In his downtime: Wilson can often be found walking around Chicago’s historic neighborhoods, checking out the city’s lesserknown architectural gems. “I just wish I had more time to do it,” he says.
