      <image:title>Way of Being - Our Mentoring Model</image:title>
      <image:caption>We each carry unique talents and strengths as we make our way along this academic path. It is important to us to share our strength and wisdom with one another. It is also crucial for us to ASK for help - because plenty of those moments exist in graduate school. If one ascribes to the Western perspective of individualism, asking for help can be more difficult to do, even stigmatizing. This academic culture is based on values that often do not align with our Indigenous values - values instilled in many of us since childhood. We were taught about the interconnectedness of all things. Honoring and supporting our well-being in academia is informed by our holistic view. Asking for help takes strength and an important part of any community. Asking others allows for reciprocity and is essential in our everyday interactions with one another. Because of our understanding of asking for help, we are nourished and supported by one another and have a strong sense of belongingness – we are never alone in this journey.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - “For the Cherokee, health is more than the absence of disease; it includes a fully confident sense of a smooth life, peaceful existence, unhurried pace, and easy flow of time.  The natural state of the world is to be neutral, balanced, with a similarly gently flowing pattern… All aspects--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual--figure into the Cherokee concept of good health.” (Lefler, 2009).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cherokee culture describes wellness as the “harmony between mind, body, and spirit.” This is the expression of our Indigenous psychology lab. Like the traditional medicine wheel, our work focuses on the physical, spiritual, and psychological health of ethnic and racial minorities. We incorporate traditional and culturally appropriate interventions and research methods into our exploration to decolonize multicultural research within psychology. We aim to investigate disparities and resilience, advance the field of multicultural psychology, and disseminate our research and education in beneficial ways. Lefler, L. J. (2009).

      <image:caption>The Mentoring &amp; Encouraging Student Academic Success (MESAS) program was initially created to increase the academic success of transfer students from the USU campus in Blanding to the main USU campus in Logan. The goals of the program were to encourage more Native American students to pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields and to build a more inclusive campus environment at Utah State University. As the program has grown, our goals have also grown. Program goals now include providing academic assistance and cultural programming for all Native American students at Utah State University.</image:caption>

She grew up in rural Oklahoma and graduated with a B.A. in Psychology, summa cum laude, from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. At NSU she was inducted into the Rho Theta Sigma, Pi Gamma Mu, and Psi Chi International Honor Societies. She was also awarded the American Indian Mentorship Award from Northeastern State University’s Center for Tribal Studies. After graduation she applied for and was awarded a Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship at the Seven Generations Center of Excellence in Native American Behavioral Health at the University of North Dakota. In the summer of that year, she attended her first Society of Indian Psychologists (SIP) conference at Utah State University and fell in love with both the USU combined clinical program and SIP’s mission to promote awareness of Native American issues.  Devon is currently a doctoral student at Utah State University in the Clinical/Counseling Combined PhD program. She is a recipient of the Ford Predoctoral Fellowship, Presidential Doctoral Research (PDRF) Fellowship and the American Indian Support Project Scholarship. Her research focuses on the intersection of culture and mental health, with an emphasis on risk and protective factors for mental health. Her work in Native American Mental health and cultural competence has helped her earn the Cedar Award (APA, Division 35, Section 6) and the Toy Caldwell-Colbert Student Contributions to Service Award (APA, Division 45). Devon has a passion for mentoring ethnic minority undergraduate students to help diversify the field of psychology. Devon’s long-term goal is to teach at the university level to address the need for Native American mental health research and to provide support to diverse students seeking careers in the social sciences. She was recently awarded the K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award from the Association of American Colleges and Universities for her commitment to equity, community, and teaching and learning.

      <image:title>Our Community - Melissa Tehee, JD, PhD</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am honored to share in so many student’s journeys. I view my role in the Tohi lab as one who tends to the fire. This fire was created by Dr. Carolyn Barcus – who has mentored so many. I hold this space and keep it inviting and warm so students can come together whenever they need it. Everyone has gifts, and it is amazing to see what we create when we bring all of our gifts together. We bring love, pain, liberation, beauty, struggle, resilience, knowledge, and wisdom to share in radical healing and community building. I am so grateful to all of those in the Tohi community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>T.E.A.C.H. - Cultural Competence</image:title>
      <image:caption>One area of improvement MESAS is working on is to implement institutional change. Thus, the creation of a cultural competence course is meant to help bring about that change on Utah State University campuses. Cultural competence is recognizing and appreciating other cultures and the ability to work effectively with others with diverse cultural identities. The goal of the cultural competence course is to establish appreciation among faculty, staff, and non-Indigenous students for the role Native Americans and other underrepresented groups play in enriching campus life for all USU community members.</image:caption>

      <image:title>T.E.A.C.H. - Cultural Competence Course</image:title>
      <image:caption>This course on Cultural Competence was designed as part of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Inclusive Excellence Initiative grant awarded to USU. “This initiative is about encouraging colleges and universities to change the way they do business ­­­─ to become institutions with a significantly greater capacity for inclusion of all students, especially those from nontraditional backgrounds… Engaging these students and bringing their diverse perspectives into the science community is critical for achieving scientific excellence and finding creative solutions to difficult problems”.</image:caption>
