Dr. Geoffrey Hall
Celebrating leadership and lasting contributions to UBC’s Faculty of Arts.
UBC Psychology Professor Dr. Geoffrey Hall has been honoured with the Dean of Arts Award. This annual award recognizes faculty members whose contributions to teaching, research, leadership, and community engagement have proven transformative to the Faculty of Arts.
Dr. Hall was recognized for his internationally acclaimed contributions to developmental psychology, his decade of leadership as Head of the Department of Psychology, and a career defined by patience, diligence, and exceptional care for students and colleagues.
“I'm thrilled and honoured to receive the Dean of Arts Award. It's immensely gratifying to be recognized for my contributions to the Faculty of Arts.”
The award is given in the name of a living Professor Emeritus/Emerita who has made a significant contribution to the Faculty of Arts and has been an inspiration to the award recipient. Dr. Hall named Psychology Professor Emeritus Dr. Richard Tees as his co-recipient.
“I'm delighted to name my award in honour of Dr. Richard Tees. Richard was the Head of the Department of Psychology for many years, including some of my years as a junior faculty member. His impact on our department and our faculty was truly transformational, and I'll always be grateful to him for the support and kindness he showed me throughout my career.”
Award recipients were invited to a Faculty of Arts Award Recognition Reception on May 26, 2026.
Join us in congratulating Dr. Hall and Dr. Tees on this recognition!
