Debra Zellner<\/a><\/h2>\n

Professor Emerita, Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Emerita Debra Zellner, who retired in 2019 after 18 years at Montclair, was renowned as a teacher and a caring and supportive mentor to her students. \u201cIf it wasn’t for Dr. Zellner I don’t know if I would be where I am today as a doctoral student,\u201d says Veronica Schneider \u201917. \u201cWorking with her was one of the most impactful things I\u2019ve done for myself and my future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zellner was well known for involving students in her work, giving them hands-on experience and boosting their confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Zellner believed in me, even when I doubted myself,\u201d recalls Nancy Greene \u201914. \u201cShe has always fostered an inclusive environment, even during her tenure as president of the Eastern Psychological Association, ensuring all lab members participated in conference events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melissa Dolese \u201903, \u201906 MA, a professor at the University of Alaska, says \u201cDr. Zellner was my professor and research mentor. Her class on sensation and perception gave me foundational knowledge for my research, my teaching, and shaped my love for our sensory systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Elizabeth Cogan \u201911, who switched her major to Psychology after taking an introductory class from Zellner, \u201cDeb instilled knowledge and confidence in me that changed my life. As a first-generation college student, her mentorship meant the world to me.”
