The Department of Psychology at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has an opening for a new faculty position. Sigmund Freud, John B. Watson, Albert Bandura, Anne Treisman, Mary Calkins, and Elizabeth Loftus are all interested in applying. Each of these candidates approaches you to ask that you nominate them for the job, but you are only allowed to submit 1 nomination.
For this assignment, you will create a nomination letter to the chair of the department in which you will make a strong case for why that person would be the best fit for the psychology department at FGCU. You should be sure to present a compelling argument for their strengths, not only as a potential colleague with your current faculty, but also how psychology students would feel about this potential professor.
