Oregon Counseling Association Annual Awards

Leona E. Tyler Award
The Leona E. Tyler Award was conceived in the spring of 1967. Several members of Oregon Personnel and Guidance Association (OPGA) felt that the many contributions of Dr. Tyler to the field of Counseling Psychology should be recognized. Dr. Tyler, who at that time, was the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Oregon, had attained both national and international acclaim. Her research, writing, teaching, and supervision of practicum students were outstanding.

Dr. Tyler wrote three major textbooks: The Work of the Counselor, Group and Individual Differences, and Clinical Psychology, the latter in conjunction with Dr. Norman Sundberg.

The initial award was made to Dr. Tyler, announcing that in her honor, an annual award was being established by Oregon Counseling Association (formerly OPGA) to recognize other individuals whose work has had statewide implications for counseling.
