Albert Bandura (51MA, 52PhD)

One of the world's most influential psychologists, Bandura developed social cognitive theory, a widely embraced concept that guides practitioners, public policy makers, and academics.

Born in Alberta, Canada, Bandura studied at the University of British Columbia before being accepted into Iowa's renowned psychology department, where he earned master's and PhD degrees under Professor Arthur Benton in the early 1950s. Here he met his future wife, Virginia Varns (47GN), who taught at the College of Nursing. Bandura joined Stanford's psychology department in 1953 and was an active faculty member and prolific researcher until his retirement in 2010.

In Bandura's famous 1961 Bobo Doll study, children who observed an adult beating up an inflatable doll were more likely to reproduce the same aggressive behavior when later playing with the doll. His findings challenged the previously established behavioral doctrine that learning was primarily a conditioned response shaped by external punishments and rewards. By the 1980s, Bandura had developed his social cognitive theory, which holds that learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic interplay of personal, environmental, and behavioral influences. In 2002, the Review of General Psychology ranked Bandura as fourth out of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century.

Bandura died at age 95 on July 26, 2021, at his home in Stanford, California.

Kathleen Lillis McKeen

As the longtime director of the Iowa Cancer Registry, McKeen dedicated her career to bettering the health of her home state while establishing Iowa as a national leader in cancer surveillance.

The Williamsburg, Iowa, native began work at the cancer registry at UI Hospitals & Clinics in 1959, just a month after graduating high school. McKeen was named assistant director of the statewide cancer registry in 1978 and director in 1982. She led the UI-based Iowa Cancer Registry for 36 years, overseeing a staff of 50 that collected cancer data and identified factors relating to the disease's etiology, prevention, and control.

McKeen helped create and lead the Iowa Cancer Registrars Association, the National Cancer Registrars Association, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. She also contributed to the development of state and national databases, the standardization of cancer data, and the creation of certification for registrars and registries. In 2010, McKeen received the UI David J. Skorton Staff Excellence Award for Public Service.

McKeen was the university's longest-serving professional and scientific employee at 59 years when she retired from the UI College of Public Health's Department of Epidemiology in 2018.

McKeen and her late husband, Dick, were also passionate UI athletics supporters. Kathleen was a season ticket holder in football and men's basketball since 1959, and the couple became one of the first motor-home tailgaters for Hawkeye football games in the 1970s. The McKeens were also ardent supporters of the women's basketball and wrestling teams, attending more than 20 NCAA wrestling championships together.

Kathleen McKeen died Oct. 1 in Iowa City, seven months after her husband's death. She was 80.
