Nine students in the Department of Educational Psychology’s counseling and student personnel psychology (CSPP) program are serving as graduate student representatives on regional counseling boards for the 2018-19 school year. The students will work with local school counselors to promote the school counseling profession and provide professional development opportunities for counselors in each region.

Seven students are serving as the Lakes Area School Counseling Association graduate student representatives. These students serve on the board with Marguerite Ohrtman, director of school counseling and MA clinical training, and Carolyn Berger, assistant professor, both in the CSPP program. In addition, Katie O’Dowd is serving on the Minneapolis School Counseling Association Board, and Gabriella Riley is serving on the East Suburban School Counseling Association Board.

The regional counseling boards the students support are all part of the Minnesota School Counselors Association.
