A retirement reception for Beth Doll, professor of educational psychology, will be 3 to 5 p.m. Dec. 10, in Carolyn Pope Edwards Hall, Room 227.
Doll joined the university as an associate professor in 2000 after 10 years as an associate professor and director of the school psychology program at the University of Colorado Denver. She was promoted to full professor at Nebraska in 2003. Doll began her career as a school psychologist in rural Kentucky before becoming a clinical assistant professor and coordinator of the psychoeducational clinic at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
At Nebraska, Doll’s principal research interest has been the promotion of mental health and the psychological well-being of children and youth, and aspects of school and classroom systems that contribute to students’ resilience and academic success. She has built partnerships with school districts across the state to use student perceptions and classroom data to prompt revised classroom routines.
In 2024, Doll was awarded the Nadine Lambert Lifetime Achievement Award by Division 16 of the American Psychological Association. She also received the Legend’s Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Association of School Psychologists in 2020. Dol is a member of the American Psychological Association’s Board of Education Affairs and is on the editorial board of the International Journal of School and Educational Psychology and Professional Psychology: Research and Practice.
Doll also served the College of Education and Human Sciences as associate dean for academic affairs from 2011-16, and interim dean from 2017-19. Since 2020 she has served as the training director for the Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology, which is a group of eight cooperating agencies whose mission is to provide intensive professional training experiences for psychology interns within the context of a scientist-practitioner model.
The reception is free and open to the public with a short progam beginning at 3:15 p.m. Tea and light refreshments will be served.
