Wendy Davee Peace Builder Award
We are delighted to announce that Santa Barbara City Councilmember Cathy Murillo is the 2016 recipient of the Wendy Davee Peace Builder Award. This award, named after one of Pacifica Graduate Institute’s most beloved faculty members, recognizes individuals for their exceptional efforts in supporting opportunities for healthy lifestyle choices and education for youth, promoting communication among diverse populations, and community development.
About Wendy Davee
A graduate of UCSB, Wendy Davee earned an MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute (then known as the Human Relations Institute) and worked extensively in non-profit, educational, and governmental settings, providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and families. Davee supervised numerous trainees and interns and emphasized the healing power of therapeutic play in the treatment of children. As Chair of Pacifica’s Masters in Counseling Psychology program for seven years, her love of promoting the therapeutic needs of children and families endeared her to her fellow faculty and students. With this award, we aspire to remember her unique efforts and encourage those whose actions carry forward her philosophies of recognizing the value of our community’s children and families.
