JOHN YOUNG 2019 Elsie M. Hood Outstanding Teacher
John Young is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Mississippi and director of the Scientific Infusion That Helps (SITH) laboratory. His research focuses on ways to deliver evidence-based treatments for psychological difficulties to people who need them, especially schoolchildren. This frequently involves the use of technology, particularly as a way to provide
help to children and families in rural areas who might not otherwise be able to access services.
Young routinely teaches introductory and abnormal psychology in the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and introductory clinical psychology at the undergraduate level. He also teaches a variety of graduate courses that emphasize clinical training, including a seminar in introduction to evidence-based interventions, training in how to conduct clinical supervision, and ongoing supervision of graduate student clinical cases.
Young received his master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He received two undergraduate degrees, the first in biology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (tar-HEELS!) and the second in psychology from UNC Charlotte. He lives in Oxford with his wife, Danielle Maack, who is also a faculty member in psychology.

Marcus Elvis Taylor Memorial2019 Elsie M. Hood Outstanding Teacher
Dr. William A. Taylor of Booneville, Mississippi, in June 1904 founded the Marcus Elvis Taylor Memorial at The University of Mississippi “out of affection and regard for the memory of his son, the late Dr. Marcus Elvis Taylor, an honored alumnus of the university, of the class of 1871, and out of benevolent regard and good will for the youth of the state and the interest and the work of The University of Mississippi, and for the encouragement of meritorious scholarship and deportment.”
This memorial fund provides scholarship medals to students nominated for outstanding scholarship in particular fields combined with superior work in all other subjects. The number awarded annually may not be more than 1 percent of the student body. Each medal has engraved on it the name of the nominating school. A faculty committee recommends students to be recognized for “meritorious scholarship and deportment” from those nominated by the participating division of the university. The Undergraduate Council and the Council of Academic Administrators give formal approval for recognition.
To be eligible, a student must have a grade-point average of 3.90 or higher, must have senior standing and must have completed at least 18 semester hours in the school or college in which the nomination originates. Transfer students must have earned 45 semester hours at The University of Mississippi prior to being nominated. August and December graduates are included for consideration each year.
