This award is presented annually to the outstanding graduating psychology senior on behalf of Cornelia Sabine, Class of 1947, a longtime supporter of Colorado College and the Department of Psychology. This award serves as a tribute to Cornelia, who had a long and distinguished career in public service as a psychologist, working with both children and adults in Colorado. After receiving a Bachelor's degree in music from Northwestern University, Cornelia and her husband, Paul, moved to Colorado Springs in 1947, where she obtained a B.A., magna cum laude, and a an M.A. in Human Behavior from Colorado College. She subsequently earned an educational specialist degree from Stanford University, and became a licensed psychologist in Colorado Springs, where she maintained a private practice for 30 years. Her advice to students is to use their knowledge of psychology to bring peace and understanding into relationships in our fractious modern world.
