The faculty in the clinical mental health counseling program care deeply about the growth of their students and it clearly shows through their teaching practices. I’m proud to be a graduate of this program and owe the faculty so much for my successes in the counseling field. The faculty encouraged me to pursue an internship at a local college counseling center, which ultimately turned into a residency position. Without their immense support, I would never have been able to pursue such a position.
