Posted By: Stacie Coulter on March 24, 2011 By: Dyson Show Staff Many think about post-traumatic stress disorder as it relates to troops coming home from war. However, natural disasters like the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan can cause PTSD, not only in the people who lived through it, but in those who weren’t there but lost family and friends in the disaster. Dr. David Arnold, psychiatrist and medical director of the Acute Care Inpatient Psychiatry Unit for the Veterans Administration Hospital in Baltimore and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Maryland, College of Medicine, explains PTSD and its effects. We’ve spent a lot of time discussing African-American males and higher education—now we turn to the situation with Latino males. Dr. Luis Ponjuan, assistant professor of higher education administration at the University of Florida, alerted academia to the crisis of higher education and Latino Males when he co-authored the study “The Vanishing Latino Male in Higher Education” in 2009. Now, in addition to his position at UF Gainsville, he’s also a partner with Project MALES—Mentoring to Achieve Latino Educational Success, an initiative with the University of Texas, Austin. He tells us more about the crisis facing Latinos and how programs like these can help.
