Advisory board
The function of the Advisory Board is to review program practices, procedures and curriculum and provide feedback about ways the program can be improved. Most importantly, the Advisory Board serves as a link between the SCSU professional counseling programs and the needs of key community stakeholders, including professional counselors, mental health clinicians, program administrators and supervisors, students enrolled in the SCSU professional counseling programs and students and clients served by our alumni.
