Dr. Alette Coble-Temple has been named the Harry L. Morrison Oustanding Faculty of the Year! Dr. Coble-Temple is a graduate of JFK University’s Sport Psychology and PsyD programs. She began her teaching career at JFK University in 2002 and attained the faculty rank of Full Professor in 2014. During this time her contributions to the University, College of Graduate and Professional Studies, and the PsyD program have been invaluable. Dr. Coble-Temple is the Chair of the PsyD program’s Curriculum Committee (no easy task as the doctoral program is accredited by the American Psychological Association - APA). In addition, she serves as the Faculty Liaison to the PsyD Student Council. Most admirable, however, is her primary focus on the education and training of our PsyD students.
Dr. Coble-Temple was inducted into APA’s prestigious 2014 – 2015 Leadership Institute for Women in Psychology. Dr. Coble-Temple also serves on APA’s Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP), arguably one of the Association’s hardest working committees. She is a national presence in advocacy for persons with disabilities. Recently, her visibility and impact in this regard have been greatly increased with her having won the Ms. California Wheelchair 2015 competition, a social justice organization.
All of the above accomplishments serve the important function of modeling for our students a commitment to lifelong learning and how a psychologist can make a tremendous impact inside – and outside of – the University. As you might imagine, given her prolific scholarship, exceptional student mentorship, and public advocacy, Dr. Coble-Temple is an incredible asset to John F. Kennedy University. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Coble-Temple, JFK University’s 2015 Harry L. Morrison Outstanding Faculty of the Year!!!
I very much admire Alette. She is amazing!
