Gabriela Rodriguez '18The Counseling and Pupil Personnel Services program has helped me be equipped to support the students I’ll be working with. Being aligned with the ASCA model provides a guide to implement best practices while working in the field. The counselors I’ve met who are graduates of the program have done an excellent job in their role, feel prepared, and work diligently to advocate for social justice.
