Dr. Mary Hampton 2024 - Luther College

Dr. Mary Hampton 2024

Dr. Mary Hampton, Professor Emeritus of Luther College at the University of Regina is being recognized posthumously for her trailblazing service to Luther College.

Working in community and with community was the cornerstone of her career as a professor of psychology and national researcher. With a Master’s degree in Counselling and Consulting Psychology from Boston University and a doctorate of Counseling and Consulting Psychology from Harvard, Mary spent decades at Luther College fulfilling her passions: teaching, researching and counselling.

She was a nationally-acclaimed lead researcher on many projects, often involving topics around women and gender, intimate partner violence, and Indigenous issues. Her research and teaching had an enormous impact on students, colleagues, and community members. As Saskatchewan’s director of RESOLVE, a tri-provincial, tri-university body bringing together community organizations and university researchers, Mary forged new ground. Her work in particular on intimate partner violence in northern Saskatchewan has had a lasting impact.

She was a passionate, driven and much beloved professor who worked tirelessly to implement change for vulnerable persons and to create healthy communities across Canada. Mary was doing cross-cultural work with Indigenous people long before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission brought the need to the forefront; working on women’s issues long before the ‘Me Too’ movement; and teaching students about meditation and humanistic psychology long before the new age spiritual movement.

During her time at Luther College, Mary led numerous multi-faceted community-based research initiatives, working with Indigenous communities. Mary’s passion for her research was prolific and tireless. She was recipient of the University of Regina Inspiring Teaching Award, the Canadian Psychological Association Feminist Mentoring Award, among others.

She served on the Board of Directors and collaborated with numerous community organizations including AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan, All Nations Hope AIDS Network, Planned Parenthood Regina, and Caring Hearts, and much more.

Dr. Hampton retired in 2018 after a long and remarkable career of 26 years at Luther College and passed away in January 2024. Luther College is proud to honor Dr. Mary Hampton with the 2024 Distinguished Service Award.
