Mission Statement
The 草榴社区 Counseling Program is committed to providing future counselors with transformative
educational experiences grounded in active adult learning theory. We are invested
in deconstructing colonialism to engage students from diverse backgrounds to claim
space in the educational setting and the counseling profession. The faculty strives
to develop culturally attuned counselors serving diverse populations across 草榴社区,
nationally, and internationally.
We subscribe to the scientist-practitioner-advocate model, teaching student responsiveness to the changing requirements of a dynamic, pluralistic society with new and emerging evidenced-based practices that accommodate culturally diverse worldviews. A key aim is to facilitate bi-directional learning opportunities to enhance student self-awareness, insight, empathy, compassion, curiosity, understanding, and commitment. We provide high quality counselor preparation grounded in current research, program evaluation, and improvement.
