Assistant Professor Fatima Varner has been interviewed multiple times this summer to share insights of her research on race related stressors on Black families and adolescent outcomes. Not only does she share findings on her research, but she also gives a perspective of discrimination Black students and academics face in the pipeline to college and while attending or working at a university. She makes a call for better mentoring programs for Black high school, undergraduate and graduate students and more applied research for underrepresented populations.
