The Counseling Psychology faculty has encouraged students to mentor each other according to individual talents and expertise areas. The Counseling Psychology Faculty also emphasizes our mentoring of students. We believe our role is to facilitate students' achievement. The Program faculty provides objective and constructive feedback to students at regularly scheduled, formal points in their Programs as well as informal comments and suggestions. Positive feedback and constructive feedback are seen as crucial.
Several opportunities exist for faculty and students to work together.
Some of these opportunities are formally structured and others are informally available. Advisory Committee Meetings Students meet with her or his Advisory Committee at least once each academic year. In turn, the faculty has an opportunity to work with the students in a more direct, interactive manner. In the Advisory Committee meeting, students and faculty present their points of view and discuss further issues within a relatively small, understanding, supportive group. All students who have not completed a master's degree research project must enroll in a series of one-credit independent research studies under the supervision of their Major Professors.
