The Arthur H. Brayfield Dissertation Award, given in recognition of the contributions made by Arthur H. Brayfield to the profession of psychology, is presented each year to the doctoral degree candidate who has completed the most meritorious dissertation in psychology*.  Each year, our core and supporting faculty from around the Claremont Colleges vote on the most outstanding dissertation of the year.  Each year's Brayfield winner is honored at our Commencement Celebration with a cash award and the unveiling of their name on a placard in the Austin Library on campus.
