"I look forward to working with leaders of other organizations to advance the national agenda of psychology." Roediger is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor.

Roediger is author of three books, has edited three others, and has published 150 articles and chapters.

His term began June 9 at the conclusion of the APS Annual Convention in New Orleans. Also elected to the APS board of directors were John T. Cacioppo of the University of Chicago and Denise Park of the University of Michigan.
