The LSUS School Psychology Program congratulates Jennifer Laufenberg the 2009 recipient of the Will Bergeron Memorial Scholarship. As a current third year student in school psychology, Jennifer is completing her internship in Caddo Parish Public Schools. Jennifer is recognized for her outstanding accomplishments in graduate courses at LSUS, diligent work during the School of R.O.C.K. summer program in June 2009, and her leadership as a graduate assistant in the Psychology Department. Jennifer was presented with the Will Bergeron Scholarship, along with a $500 stipend, at the annual conference in Lafayette for the Louisiana School Psychological Association (LSPA) on November 12, 2009.

The Will Bergeron Memorial Scholarship was established by LSPA in 1982 in honor of one of the early practitioners and trainers of school psychology in Louisiana. Dr. Bergeron dedicated many years of service to enhance the educational growth and development of school psychologists in Louisiana.

The scholarship is awarded annually to one student in a Louisiana school psychology program who has demonstrated exceptional performance in graduate school and shows great potential to contribute to the field. Faculty and students of the LSUS School Psychology Program are proud of Jennifer and wish her success as a school psychologist.
