	2nd Annual Lovett Distinguished Alumni Award Christyn Dolbier, Ph.D. was given the second annual Lovett Distinguished Alumni Award on April 24, 2009 by Dr. Dot Lovett herself, as part of Dr. Dolbier's appearance at the McCraw lecture speaking on Promoting Resilient and Thriving Stress Responses. Dr. Dolbier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at East Carolina University. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2000 with an interdisciplinary degree in Health Education and Psychology, and went on to complete postdoctoral training in Health Psychology at the University of California at San Francisco. Her research interests focus on developing and evaluating interventions to protect against the negative effects of stressors and facilitate resilient stress responses, particularly in populations that have demonstrated detrimental health outcomes as a result of stress such as pregnant women. She also has expertise in assessing psychological and physiological stress responses, and identifying resilience factors that help protect against the negative effects of stressors and enable people to adapt favorably to stressors.
