Remembering Morton Mendelson (1949-2025)

The Department of Psychology is mourning the passing of Professor Morton Mendelson, a longstanding faculty member who joined the department in 1977. Professor Mendelson demonstrated a deep commitment to education and student well-being, and served as McGill's first Deputy Provost of Student Life and Learning. He will be missed by many. 

Professor Emerita Debbie Moskowitz offered these words about Professor Mendelson:

Morton Mendelson was a good colleague and a good friend.
When I completed a draft of a manuscript, I would ask Morton for comments. His feedback was always astute and constructive.
Whenever the psychology department was discussing a difficult, complex issue, Morton would ask what were the principles underlying the issue at hand.  These contributions often produced greater clarity to the discussion.
It was a great pleasure to know him.

Debbie
