Rebecca Wittlin Receives John Dewey Award

Rebecca Wittlin won the John Dewey Award at UVM's College of Arts and Sciences Awards Ceremony held May 17.

This award is given annually to a senior who has conducted outstanding independent research in psychology while maintaining high scholastic standards overall. This award is named for John Dewey, an 1879 alumnus of UVM who pursued a career in education, philosophy, and psychology, and was a noted educator and philosopher. Often known as "the father of progressive education," a movement that flourished in the early twentieth century and continues to influence modern educators, Dewey believed that experience was the best way for students to learn how to create the conditions for democracy, solve social problems, and engage in moral decision-making.
