counseling and school psychology faculty

A major strength of the department lies in its faculty. The department has been extremely fortunate in attracting the expertise and teaching of exceptional scholars and professionals. The School Psychology Program & the Counselor Training Programs are housed in the Department of Counseling and School Psychology. The Department consists of twelve full-time faculty.

All faculty members have substantive experience as practicing psychologists. Full-time faculty members have published articles on topics related to psychology and regularly present papers at state and national conferences, professional workshops, and symposia. They have also been honored with state and national research and educator awards. Part-time faculty and practitioners enrich our program by bringing a wealth of clinical experiences and provide our students with pragmatic understandings and applications. Many part time faculty are active members and leaders of state and national professional organizations and serve on state and national boards.
