Dr. Tammy Zacchilli Earns the Distinguished Publications Award

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Dr. Tammy Lowery Zacchilli earned the prestigious Saint Leo University Distinguished Publications Award on May 4, 2012. Dr. John “Jack” McTague and the award committee, which is made up of all previous Distinguished Publications Award recipients, stated that, “…it is rare for someone so young to earn a career achievement award such as this, but she has earned it!” The award committee is correct. Most of the previous recipients didn’t earn this award until many years or decades later in their teaching careers. Dr. Zacchilli came to Saint Leo University (University Campus), in the Fall of 2007 and since that time hasn’t stopped teaching and conducting research with students and her colleagues.  Dr. Z has won several awards throughout her short teaching career and her latest two are:

  • Southeastern Psychological Association Mentor Award (2012)
  • Faculty Teaching Award Winner for School of Arts & Sciences- Saint Leo University (2008-2009 Academic Year)

Below is list of some of her publications. Check out Dr. Zacchilli’s latest publication on Cyber bullying.
