Engage in Activities Outside of the Classroom to Enhance Your Degree
The Center for Creativity and Change supports
counseling students in their goal to become active contributors to the
community. Workshops and other events at both the Indiana and Pittsburgh
campuses connect students with established professionals.
The Center’s mission
is to advance the knowledge base of undergraduate and graduate students as well
as mental health professionals through the promotion and creation of
professional training. It has five clear goals:
- Organize
regularly scheduled professional training on mental health and educational
topics relevant to the counseling profession.
- Offer
opportunities for mental health professionals and educators in the region to
learn from nationally and internationally recognized leaders and educators in
the counseling profession.
- Enable
the Counseling Department to enhance its relationships and professional
reputation with students, other IUP departments, professionals in the region,
alumni, internship supervisors, and national leaders.
- Provide
consultation services for school districts and counseling agencies.
- Create
and offer literature (pamphlets and books) and audio-visual products for
educators and mental health professionals.
Graduate assistantships can provide valuable support for our students.
