Remembering George McCoy

EMPLOYMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS George worked as a school psychologist for the Champaign, Illinois public schools (1958–1962), and then began his career in 1962 as a psychology professor at Illinois State Normal University (ISNU, now ISU), where he also served as the school psychologist for the Thomas Metcalf and University High Schools (see Swerdlik, Johnson, Stoffel, French, & Barone, 2009). During his 18 years at ISU, he became very active in local children's services (Victory Hall Boys Home of McLean County), and in school psychology associations at the state and national levels. When he died, people in the retirement complex where he lived did not know he was a professor, a leader in the mental health of the Native American people, the author of books and articles, and had been in school psychology from its inception.
