✨ Student Spotlight! ✨

Meet Kathya, a Harvard Du Bois Scholar! Here’s what Kathya has to say about this research opportunity:

“The Harvard Du Bois Scholar program is a fully funded summer research program that connects HBCU students with Harvard faculty mentors and provides the opportunity to engage in impactful research. This summer, I am working in the department of psychology, specifically within the Laboratory of Developmental Studies. My lab’s research focuses on how infants and children make sense of the social world, including how they learn about social relationships such as caregiving relationships, social hierarchies, and social networks, as well as how demographics shape their understanding of these concepts.

I found the Harvard Du Bois Scholars Program through Professor Robert Edwards in the English Department, who encouraged me to apply. I emphasize the importance of cultivating strong relationships with faculty at Spelman College, as these relationships open doors to many life-changing opportunities. I also received guidance from my Spelman sisters who had participated in previous HDSP cohorts, and their advice helped me navigate the application process with confidence.”

Stay tuned for more Spelman excellence! 🩵#spelman #studentspotlight #harvardduboisscholars #research #hbcu
