Sydney S. Dickson
Child Development Program Coordinator
1989
"As an
advisor she takes the time to individually listen, explain, and plan
academic goals with her advisees. She can often be found advising
students beyond office hours; this time is over and above her regular
responsibilities. In addition, Dr. Dickson is the faculty advisor for
a student club, the Child Development Student Association. She spends
a considerable amount of time helping with programs that will not
only benefit the club members, but also majors and minors from
related disciplines. Often, students from other majors ask her
questions regarding academics. She offers the student what
information she has available, and makes appropriate contacts with
other faculty members in order to fulfill the students' needs."

Child Development Major
"Dr.
Dickson was instrumental in designing and implementing major changes
in the major and minor within a year's time. The changes in program
reflect more accurately what is expected of the undergraduates both
in their grounding in theoretical and applied material. It provides
realistic options for students who desire to continue on to graduate
school, work in early childhood administration or work directly with
children and families. I give Sydney credit for providing the
leadership to make such improvements."

Psychology
"I
found Dr. Dickson to be very open and sensitive to my exploratory
process. Her input and listening, as well as her guidance in how to
investigate areas of interest were invaluable. She continued to be
supportive throughout my undergraduate career. I knew that I could
depend on her for advice and direction, and that she would be honest
and direct."
