Dr. Jennifer Howes Named Director of Health and Counseling Services

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Jennifer Howes on her promotion to Director of Health and Counseling Services. Jennifer has very ably served as the acting Director for the past eight months and had been a Staff Psychologist and Liaison to Residential Life at Caltech since 2011. Jennifer holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and has extensive experience in working with our students as well as the larger Caltech community.

The resources and services provided by the Health and Counseling Centers are essential components of our approach to providing a safe and healthy environment at Caltech. The leadership of the Director and the efforts of our dedicated staff are key factors in creating and maintaining this environment. I am looking forward to continuing my work with Jennifer and her team, and supporting the ongoing development of Health and Counseling Services.
