CFS Professor David Chiriboga Retires with Emeritus Status
CFS Professor Emeritus David Chiriboga, PhD
CFS wishes a fond farewell and congratulations to Professor David Chiriboga on his retirement from USF! Throughout his 20-year career at the USF, Dr. Chiriboga has devoted substantial time to teaching, research and scholarly activity.
Dr. Chiriboga has a long history of producing outstanding researchers in the field of aging, serving as a mentor for numerous postdoctoral fellows and students, many of whom are Koreans. He is the recipient of the GSA Minority Mentorship honor, which is given annually to an individual who has exemplified outstanding commitment and dedication to mentoring minority researchers in the field of aging and the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education Hiram J. Friedsam Mentorship Award.
Dr. Chiriboga’s scholarly work has included serving as PI, Co-PI or Senior Investigator on 23 federal and state funded grants while at USF. He has authored 3 books, 31 book chapters, 171 peer-reviewed articles, 32 technical reports, and has had 14 entries in the Encyclopedia. Presentations span internationally (21), nationally (186), as well as numerous state and local presentations.
Since 2015, Dr. Chiriboga has served on the American Psychological Association’s five-person task force to revise the Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice and Organizational Change for Psychologists, 2002 (Multicultural Guidelines). Retitled Multicultural Guidelines: A Reconsideration and Applications and approved by APA’s Council in August 2017, the document reflects the significant growth in research and theory regarding multicultural contexts since the original 2002 guidance was adopted, and encourages psychologists to consider how knowledge and understanding of intersectional identity develops from and is disseminated within professional psychological practice.
Dr. Chiriboga was granted the Professor Emeritus status upon retirement. He plans to continue his scholarly work during his retirement publishing articles and presenting at conferences.
