Christine Victorino of the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education at UC Santa Barbara has won the 2012 Multivariate Software Award for original research and will receive the award at a presentation at the Western Psychological Association annual conference on April 27.

Her dissertation examines faculty satisfaction, productivity, and collegiality in higher education. Her co-advisors are Drs. Sharon Conley and Karen Nylund-Gibson.
