Two Career Specialization Students and Faculty present at the National Career Development Association Conference

Great things happened this summer in Washington, D.C.! Not just the election campaigns, but even closer to the career home, Felicia Tripp and Robin Gluck, two students in the Career Specialization at SFSU, as well as Dr. Robert Chope and Dr. Rebecca Toporek, presented at the National Career Development Association. The powerpoints for the two presentations "Everyday Social Justice" and "Narrative Multicultural Career Counseling" can be viewed on the Career Specialization website at http://online.sfsu.edu/~rtoporek/presentations.html

Another fabulous group of students prepares to graduate

As another group of fabulous students prepare to graduate and spread their compassion, expertise and energy in the world of career counseling, we also welcome a group of promising new students. We are fortunate to have wonderful students continuing in the program who will undoubtedly mentor and share sage advice for new arrivals.

This past spring, a number of students shone as they presented at the American Counseling Association and at the SFSU Graduate Showcase. In addition, one of our students received a national award in the area of multicultural research. Stay posted for more specifics and photos.
