Dr. Bruce W. Tuckman
"Human accomplishments result from the reciprocal influences of external circumstances, a host of personal determinants, including endowed potentialities, acquired competencies, reflective thought, and a high level of self initiative" — noted social psychologist Albert Bandura
The Walter E. Dennis Learning Center is directed by Dr. Bruce W. Tuckman, Professor of
Educational Psychology in the School of Educational Policy and Leadership

performing.” He has also authored a number of textbooks, including Conducting
