Photo of Dr. Lakindra Mitchell Dove with quote reading, “As a qualitative researcher, I deeply value the process of engaging in research. It is not all about the findings or end results. There is substance in observing and analyzing ways in which conversations emerge, unfold, and connect among people. Being with individuals as they share aspects of themselves is a gift. I value the invitation to momentarily step into the world of others and witness their experiences.” - Dr. Mitchell Dove

We are proud to announce that Dr. Lakindra Mitchell Dove has been named the PSU School of Social Work's Researcher of the Year for 2025!

Congratulations, Dr. Mitchell Dove! 🎉
