“You cannot be an actor like I am and not have been in some of the worst movies like I have. But I stand before you deeply honored, mighty grateful and just plain gobsmacked.”
— James Earl Jones
What I’ll say is, you cannot be a great counselor and not have had bad days during your training or moments of uncertainty. UConn’s counselor education program focuses on training well-rounded, culturally competent counselors who learn from their mistakes, each other, and other experienced counselors.
We welcomed another cohort in the LPC Certificate program this summer and are happy to say we already have inquiries/applications for next summer! The program faculty are proud of our 100% job placement rate for our 2024 school counseling graduates and the continued success of our program alumni.
Our current students are busy with internship, practicum preparation, and weekly coursework and we commend them for their continued hard work and dedication to becoming counselors. The program faculty are committed to providing more professional development experiences for students and we will have past ACA president and professor of counselor education Dr. S. Kent Bulter speaking with us on Thursday, October 24, at 4 p.m. The title of his talk is “The Future of DEI in School Counseling” and we look forward to having him join us for an enriching session. We are also planning our November Town Hall where students and faculty can join together to discuss any topics of interest concerning the program and anything else they feel appropriate to share.
Thank you for taking the time to view this newsletter… until next time!
