Mentoring Minority Students

A Columbia University psychology professor and substance abuse researcher will talk to interested Grand Valley faculty and staff members about educating and mentoring minority students during an October 9 presentation.

Carl Hart is assistant professor of psychology at Columbia and a researcher at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. His research focuses on evaluating drug effects on workplace-relevant behaviors and implementing new cognitive tasks that could be used to assess drug abusers.

His presentation, 'Cultivating Black Scientists Through Effective Mentoring,' will run from 6-8 p.m. in the Grand River Room of Kirkhof Center. The Multicultural Affairs office is sponsoring Hart's visit; questions can be directed to x12177.
