Rodney L. Lowman, PhD, was awarded a Presidential Citation for his impressive efforts in internationalizing multiculturalism, his leadership in the APA as the chair of the Board of Convention Affairs and as council representative of Div. 14 (Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology) and his rejuvenation of Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research.
Teacher, mentor and advocate for students, Lowman has dedicated his professional life to the ethical application of psychological principles in organizational/consultative settings. He has been a vociferous advocate for advanced training guidelines in consulting psychology. His many scholarly works speak to his dedication to leave a body of work for students of consulting and industrial psychology to build upon. Lowman has worked tirelessly and at times, almost singlehandedly, to transform the Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research into an invaluable source for peer-reviewed articles on organizational and consulting psychology. His most recent book, "Internationalizing Multiculturalism: Expanding Professional Competencies in a Globalized World," makes clear that psychology is evolving on a global stage and that psychologists — all of us — need to learn, grow and change to become competent in it.
