Welcome to our incoming Master of Counseling Psychology and Doctor of Counseling Psychology students! Last Thursday, we hosted orientation for all of our Graduate School of Professional Psychology (GSPP) students giving them the opportunity to mingle with classmates, faculty and staff and connect with advisors.

We found ourselves deep in conversation discussing the university mission, psychology values and professional identity, scholarship, service, and the ever present need for community. We're grateful these students have chosen a path that seeks to foster community and support it through relationship and conversation.

Welcome again to the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, we can't wait for all you will accomplish in your time with us!
