A. Lott to Celebrate
It is always a pleasent surprise to find out that a friend of yours is being honored with an award. So this morning we were very pleased to learn that longtime SLDN friend and supporter, Dr. Albert J. Lott, has been awarded the Rhode Island Psychological Association's Musiker-Merenda award for significant contributions to mental health because of his work to help repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
A professor and social justice advocate for over 50 years, Al joined the faculty at the University of Rhode Island (URI) in 1969 and quickly became a pioneer in the field of women’s and men’s studies. His course on "Men and Masculinity" is still taught at URI today.
In 1996 Dr. Lott retired from teaching and has since dedicated much of his time to helping lift the ban on open service
Congratulations Al on this wonderful honor! With your continued support we will soon see the day when every member of the armed forces can serve honestly, openly, and with the dignity that is their due.
