Dr. Kerr received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and his B.S. in Psychology from Willamette University. He has received numerous awards and grants, and he conducts research on the “development of depression and conduct problems, and the prevention of youth suicide and health-risking sexual behaviors” (http://liberalarts.oregonstate.edu/users/david-kerr). Many of his recent papers can be found in the Open Access (OA) Collection of Scholars Archive at OSU, and OSULP honors him for supporting open access through his enthusiastic response to the OSU OA policy, thus making his research accessible to the OSU community, Oregonians, and the world.
