-Lyndsay Crump (Ph.D. student in clinical program)
Diane wears many hats within our department here at UNB. New students typically encounter her 'evidence-based adult assessment' course as their first foray into graduate level courses, and later finish their coursework with her 'evidence-based practice' capstone course before writing their comprehensive exam. Diane's organization,expertise, and willingness to donate time and energy to making sure we understand the material in her role as teacher is something we really appreciate. Besides her busy teaching schedule and supervision (we undergrad and graduate students can suck up a lot of her time), Diane also serves as our department's Director of Clinical Training.This administrative role comes with a lot of responsibility and requires a lot of time and dedication behind the scenes that we students often forget to thank her for. Essentially, Diane makes sure we all continue to progress through our program, deals with individual bumps that come up along the ride, makes sure the program stays current with evidence-based practice (and incorporates the needs and values of students), and in essence strives to prepare us to be great candidates for internship (our match rate here in excellent).
This past year, the graduate students of the clinical psychology doctoral program secretly nominated Diane (with the full support of the faculty) for the Canadian Council of Professional Psychology Program's Award for Excellence in Professional Training (Academic). Diane's extraordinary efforts and commitment to keeping UNB's clinical program among the best in the country does not go unnoticed by our students and faculty, so we were thrilled to learn the CCPPP also recognizes how exceptional she is!
A massive congratulations to Dr. Diane LaChapelle for this very well-deserved recognition!
