On April 6, Psychology Professor Mitch Handelsman was awarded the "1949 Award" (presented to distinguished alumni) from the Clinical Psychology Program at the University of Kansas. The award is for "outstanding contributions to clinical psychology, and in recognition of their contribution to the legacy of Clinical Psychology at the University of Kansas." At the ceremony Handelsman gave a talk entitled, "Professional and Personal Lessons from the APA Torture Controversy: What I Didn’t Do Over My Summer Vacation."
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
