    Sosa’s Research Leverages Identity to Inform Mental Health Strategies

    Raquel Sosa knew she wanted to pursue a career in psychology before she ever set foot on a college campus. “Looking at the differences between clinical and counseling psych, counseling psychology definitely attracted me a lot more because of the emphasis on social justice,” she said. Sosa was interested in working with Latinx and immigrant populations which made the COE’s Counseling Psychology doctoral program a good fit for her interests.

    In 2019, Sam Keller earned an undergraduate bachelor's degree in marketing. “And I didn't really have an idea of what I even wanted to do,” she said. Going to work, 9 to 5, is what she thought life was. “You wake up, you go to work, you pay your bills, and that's about it.”
