Hathaway Brown School is a proud microcosm of American society. Our students come from 81 different communities throughout Northeast Ohio and they bring with them an endless array of perspectives, diverse nationalities, and personal heritages. HB is richly layered with multiculturalism and individuality. This creates a distinctive and powerful learning environment.
On Monday, May 11, 2015, Hathaway Brown's Center for Multicultural Affairs invites you to join us for a very special presentation. At 7 p.m., Dr. Erica Stovall White will offer her expertise about the importance of honoring all of the similarities and differences among us. The program will include time for audience questions. We strongly encourage HB parents of students in all school divisions and from all backgrounds to attend this very special event.
Erica Stovall White is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Alabama. In addition to teaching, Dr. White has an extensive background in psychotherapy and consultation in a variety of settings including independent and public schools, corporations and community agencies. She has worked with college, graduate, and professional students while employed at several university counseling centers including The University of Michigan, Vanderbilt University, and Case Western Reserve University. Dr. White has a strong interest in issues of cultural diversity in the classroom, the therapeutic setting, and the world at large. Most recently she conducted a research study that aimed to better understand the experience of African-American girls in all-girls independent schools.
Dr. White received her B.A. degree from Spelman College in 1994, and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1999.
