The OLLU McNair Scholars Program proudly celebrates the recent publication of McNair alumna Alyna Guerrero and her McNair mentor, Dr. Melissa Brennan, in the North American Journal of Psychology.
Their article, “Marianismo Beliefs and Mental Health Help-Seeking Attitudes Among College-Aged Latinas” (Vol. 27, Issue 3, pp. 697–714), explores the ways cultural beliefs influence attitudes toward seeking mental health support among Latina college students.
This publication reflects the impact of the McNair Scholars Program in supporting undergraduate research and mentorship that extends beyond graduation. Guerrero’s achievement is a testament to the program’s mission of preparing first-generation and underrepresented students for graduate study and scholarly contribution.
