Hello CPSY community,

I am writing with a happy interjection into Spring break, to let everyone know that Dr. Carolyn Ponting will be joining our faculty in September!

Some of you may have met Dr. Ponting when she interviewed in Fall 2024, or you may have attended/watched her colloquium then. She graduated with her PhD in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Health Psychology from UCLA and is currently completing her 3rd year as a postdoctoral fellow at UC San Francico in the Department of Psychiatry.

Dr. Ponting is a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California, and her research and scholarship is focused on Latinx mental health using both qualitative and quantitative methods, with a focus on the pregnancy period. I pasted a couple of her recent publications below.

We are very excited to be adding another fantastic colleague, advisor, researcher, and clinical supervisor to our department and the CPSY program, in particular!

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Today, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, and they continue to make important contributions in their communities, at UO, and across the land we now refer to as Oregon.
