Here are 483 retirement messages from some of your colleagues: Page 29 of 49    Dear Professor Zimbardo, Your creative experiments inspired me to become a social psychologist. On behalf of an entire generation of social psychologists that follow in your footsteps, I wish you the very best. Tom Malloy Rhode Island College United States Phil, thanks for your many contributions to our field. I hope retirement will provide the resources for you to pursue your continuing agenda. Cheers! Roy S. Malpass University of Texas at El Paso United States I'm honored to have the opportunity to tell you how you've inspired my teaching, research, and practice of social psychology. Your work has aided me personally and professionally for 3 decades; for instance, your Stanford Prison Experiment taught me much about human nature, our attribution tendencies and errors, and how compelling situations can be. I've relied on Discovering Psychology in Intro and Social Psychology classes to bring to life important issues and research. I've been encouraged by your example to accept the challenge to study issues that really matter (in my case, transformational leadership) and apply learning to make a difference in people's lives. Thank you for continuing to be enthusiastic and scientific through a professional life well-lived! Tracey Manning University of Maryland United States Hi Phil, Best wishes on your retirement! I've enjoyed working with you on the WPA Board, and have great memories of your hospitality at your house for Board meetings. I see that the number of messages you received are enough to keep you busy for another career! We all send a very sincere tribute to you for your contributions to psychology. One person can make a difference, as you have shown. All the best, Carrie Margolin The Evergreen State College United States All the best to one of our very best! Joe Marrone Siena College United States You have made all Sicilians proud -- now you will have more time to cook some good Italian pasta. Anthony J. Marsella University of Hawaii United States Dear Phil, It is a sea change when a superb psychologist retires. Your work, especially for me the deindividuation experiments and the prison experiment, are among social psychology's finest achievements. They will be classics for decades to come. More personally, they are one reason I entered this field. And your legendary introductory psychology class has shaped the psyches of thousands of Stanford students, who learned more than psychology when they donated to give their guest speakers cases of fine wines. Your love of life, of Chris Maslach, and of the finer things like those cases of fine wines -- the bon vivant who was so consistently warm and welcoming to me and to my husband when we first came to California -- this side of you is also precious and will be much missed. Joanne Martin Stanford Business School United States Dr. Zimbardo-- Congratulations and best wishes to you on your retirement. You certainly are an inspiration to me and my teaching as an adjunct instructor. May you and your family enjoy your retirement!! God bless you!! Robert Martinez University of the Incarnate Word/Northwest Vista College United States Phil, Best wishes on your "retirement." Thanks for the support of SPSSI during your APA presidency and, more personally, thanks for training Scott Fraser, one of my mentors. Geoff Maruyama University of Minnesota United States Quite simply, you've inspired me. During my undergraduate years, I discovered psychology through the passionate and accurate lens offered by your television programs. As a graduate student and now new Ph.D., I turn to your example as I prepare and teach my own courses and as I aim to balance my teaching and research. You have left an indelible mark on myself, my students, the field of psychology, and our global society. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you! With deep respect and admiration, Debra Mashek George Mason University United States Page 29 of 49
