Human intelligence, psychology alum receives 2026 MSUM Foundation Distinguished Alumni Award

Congratulations to psychology alum Dr. Kevin McGrew for earning an MSUM Foundation 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award. McGrew is being celebrated not only for his enormous contributions to the field of intelligence testing, but the heart behind what he does.

“I just want to make a difference in the lives of kids and individuals with disabilities, and those on the margins. Knowing I’ve done that is enough for me.”

McGrew is the authoritative scholar on the consensus structure of human intelligence. He has also co-authored the Woodcock-Johnson test, widely used in K-12 schools to assess strengths and weaknesses and inform IEPs for struggling students.
