Student Volunteer Clients Needed!<\/h3>\n

The Master of Counseling program is in need of some student\u00a0 volunteer clients. The student counselors are learning beginning skills and they need to practice.
\nWhat we need from you is a willingness to come in and talk about yourself for 45 to 50 minutes. The session will be taped so that we can give the students feedback on their skill development.
\nThese students aren’t qualified to handle serious mental health issues at this time. If you have a more serious issue going on please contact Pam Standridge, pstandridge@corban.edu, at the campus counseling center.
\nIf you are interested, please email me at maguilera@corban.edu and let me know a time that would work and whether you would prefer a male or female counselor. Student counselors are available Monday-Saturday at various times including mornings and between 3 & 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
