- Through service, the Program provides humanitarian assistance to academic, professional, and public communities, including volunteer counseling services to the public.
Counseling Program Vision
We aspire to create a student-centered program that models healthy relationships and pursues a collective purpose based on the values of diversity, transparency, integrity, and community engagement. Through maintaining and building on current program strengths, our program will cultivate leaders who positively impact clients, students, and the counseling profession—and, thereby, all humanity.
