A dozen years ago Natalie Cort, PhD, was working as a federally-funded researcher—focusing on issues of culture in mental health—when she came across an article on the pioneering Latino Mental Health Program at William James College (one of just three in the country providing culturally focused training to Latino graduate students in the fields of psychology and mental health counseling at that time). The following year, after deciding to change careers and become a professor, Cort was happily surprised to see a familiar name turn up in her quest for a forward-thinking institution.
