In addition another departmental faculty member, Dr. Lynda Brown Wright , serves as a role model for our students. She teaches in the Educational Psychology Area and serves on several Counseling Psychology doctoral committees. Dr. Brown Wright teaches a course on Multicultural Psychology . She works with many students in her active research Program which is related to the psychological and physiological status of African-Americans. Educating Students about Diversity Program students receive training to develop multicultural competencies and skills in working with diverse clients.
Departmental policy requires the integration of diversity issues into all Departmental courses.
We believe students should encounter information about diversity and apply this knowledge in all courses. Several Program and departmental courses focus primarily on diversity issues. The Program provides exceptionally strong training in gender roles and women's issues. Worell and Remer are very active in Division 35 and the feminist therapy community. This latter Program introduces students to gender course work in a variety of disciplines.
