Congratulations to McNair Scholar Raúl Segura! Raúl has been accepted to the Howard University Doctor of Philosophy in School Psychology Program. Howard’s School of Psychology “one of only two doctoral school psychology programs at an HBCU or minority serving institution”. The program “centers on the psychological practitioner as a: “facilitator of change, a reflective professional and a scholarly researcher.”
Raúl Segura is a first generation college student and an officer for MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano De Aztlan), a campus organization that seeks to promote Chicano unity and empowerment through political action. He is an active member of the EWU Tennis Club, and a student employee at EWU’s Student Communication Center, working on student outreach. Raúl is interested in a School Psychology career. Specifically, he seeks to create an optimal classroom environment for students and teachers of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. For his 2024 McNair Summer Research Internship Raúl worked alongside his mentor, Dr. Sarah Johansson, and presented at the 2024 McNair Summer Research Symposium. Further research interests revolve around student teacher relationships in multicultural settings and how they can create negative or positive impacts in the classroom, and how to create a culturally safe classroom environment.
