Abstract

Memorializes Stanley Sue (1944-2024). Stan Sue was a second-generation Chinese American who became interested in ethnicity as an undergraduate at the University of Oregon where he received his B.S. degree in 1966. He completed his PhD in psychology at University of California, Los Angeles in 1971. He was an assistant and associate professor of psychology at the University of Washington (1971-1981) and professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (1981-1996). He was a professor of psychology, psychiatry, and Asian American studies (1996-2004) and distinguished professor of psychology and Asian American studies (2004-2010) at the University of California, Davis, and distinguished professor of psychology at Palo Alto University (2010-2015). Stan Sue is one of the most noted and influential experts in the field of ethnic minority mental health and ethnocultural psychology. What distinguished him from other elite scholars centered on his ability to exert this influence through numerous roles as a social scientist, professional leader, teacher, mentor, and social justice activist. Over the last 50 years, he conducted some of the most pioneering and significant work in ethnic minority mental health. Stan's legacy centers on his sustained prominence as an internationally and nationally recognized scholar with respect to ethnic minority and cultural diversity issues. Importantly, he made these contributions and achievements with deep humility, compassion, that charismatic smile, and sparkling humor that endeared him to his students and colleagues.
