coe-staff: Extended appointment of Beth Stormshak as CPHS Department Head

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

In the interest of maintaining academic, research and service continuity in this time of rapid change, I have asked Beth to serve an additional year as department head. I am most appreciative of her willingness to contribute her substantial leadership experience for another year. Please express your appreciation when you have a chance.

We are particularly fortunate to have someone of Beth’s stature take on this administrative responsibility. Her brief biography is given below.

Dr. Beth Stormshak is a Philip H. Knight Chair and Professor in the College of Education at the University of Oregon, where she has been affiliated with the Counseling Psychology Program since 1996.  She is a researcher at the Prevention Science Institute (PSI) at the University of Oregon, a multidisciplinary research institute focused on improving the lives of children, families, and adults through translational science and applied intervention research.

She has been working in the field of prevention for over 30 years and has received multiple grants and contracts to focus on prevention of substance abuse and behavioral problems in children and adolescents across her career.  She has served as the principal investigator on numerous randomized trials that focused on testing the efficacy and effectiveness of family-centered models of prevention to reduce risk behavior in early childhood, in school-age children, and in adolescents. She has been funded by NIDA, the CDC, NICHD, and the Department of Education, and has been the principal investigator on several training grants, funded by both NIH and IES.

Thanks, Beth, and all of our colleagues in CPHS for your great work,

Randy
