From the University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development:

UVA School of Education and Human Development professor Patricia ‘Tish’ Jennings is a recipient of the 2024 Joseph E. Zins Award from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). Jennings was one of seven 2024 awardees “whose body of work and commitment to social and emotional learning have advanced the field and paved the way for others,” according to CASEL.
