Welcome to the Graduate and New Professional Commission for WCPA!

When I find something that may be of interest to you, as a member of this group, I will post it here. My hope is that you will be actively involved in shaping the direction of this resource as well. Comment. Ask questions. Send me something to post. We will only get out of this what we put into it! Like most things in life!

A little bit about me, in case you are curious. I began my involvement with WCPA in my first job after completing my undergraduate degree. This was at Edgewood College. My wonderful supervisor let me come to the Fall Conference (Thanks, Louise Paskey!) and I got hooked! When I went back to school for my grad degree in Counseling at UWW, I ran for the position of Graduate Student Representative on the WCPA executive board. I held that post for 2 years and once I was working in the field, I was elected Secretary for the board. After 3 years in that position, I was ready for a break. Just one year off the board helped me realize how much I missed my involvement with WCPA.  So here I am, Commission Chair for GNP! I am excited about the commissions and see great potential in this new model. I think it is a fantastic way for more people to get involved more actively with WCPA – something that has been an enriching part of my career thus far.
