A warm Bison welcome to Dina Al Ghabra (BS Psychological Sciences, Purdue University; MA, Clinical Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University). An incoming PhD Clinical Psychology student, Dina’s research focuses on cultural adaptation of evidence-based mental health interventions tailored in a Middle Eastern context. Excited for the work ahead!

…our research on police-perpetrated sexual violence against sex workers (Aydan @Hicks Symposium), intergenerational conversations about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda (Christine @Assoc for Psych Sciences), sickle cell disease identity (Tahra @Society for Pediatric Psychology). Impressive showing!

Bitter-(more) sweet when lab members launch their vocations post-Howard. To our scholars, activists, clinicians, and teachers, we are beyond proud. You know who you are…Haifa, Yajaira, Zion, Christine, and Alissa. Bison proud. Bison strong.

Ezer is excited to return to the University of Global Health Equity in July to teach Introduction to Psychological Science, a 3-week intensive course for students in the Masters of Science and Bachelor of Medicine programs.

Still not sure how Garima finds these amazing summer opportunities. She will attend the Johns Hopkins SAIS Summer Academy in Bologna Italy, where she will take classes in peace-making interventions and conflict resolution. Sound familiar @CARSA? Also the picture above is clearly not Italy…it was the site of Garima’s summer program last year. See what we mean?

Victor was an invited moderator for a panel, Living Into Young Adulthood With Perinatal HIV at the Conference for Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), Denver. See this video clip of the audience singing happy birthday to his son - very cool. Also, listen to Kang’s presentation, Historic Evolution of HIV and Mental Well-Being Among Adults Living With Perinatally Acquired HIV.
