 Death of Bob Zajonc

Dear Colleagues,

We have lost one of the giants in psychology when Robert Zajonc died from cancer on December 3, 2008. He passed away in his sleep at home in the presence of his family. His wife, Hazel Markus, had an open house this past Saturday, which many of his former colleagues and students from around the country attended and gave testimonies to the enormous impact that Bob had on their careers and personal values.

I have known Bob since we taught together in 1966 in Belgium at the first European Summer School in Experimental Social Psychology, and co-taught a graduate course at Stanford on Mass Murder and Genocide. I will miss him dearly.

I assume there will be a follow-up message about donations to a preferred charity you may wish to make in Bob's memory.

Ciao,
Phil Zimbardo
