Welcome Back!


Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! On behalf of the 2nd year cohort, I would like to officially welcome the 1st years into the fall semester! Get ready for a busy, but fun, first year. You are going to be taking an array of classes that will challenge you in all different areas of your life. You will also be starting at your Practicum site! For some of you, this may be your first time working in a school, or in a counseling setting, but for all of you, it will be a way for you to expand your knowledge and skills in counseling!


I think I can speak for my cohort when I say how excited we are to be in our final year of school! (unless you are feeling ambitious and are going to get your PhD). Anyways, 9 short months and we will (hopefully) be on our way to some new jobs!


Last week, we had such an AWESOME BOND-fire in Mission Bay! I was so excited to see such a large turnout of cohort members and our friends and family! Props to the 1st years for only missing 4 people from their cohort…2nd years managed to get half, which we will still consider a win! I want to thank the event coordinators for organizing such an awesome event. I’m sure it was only a small preview of what they have in store for us this year. Below, you will find some of the upcoming events this year, so you can start marking down your calendars!

September/October: Making Strides of San Diego, Breast Cancer Walk-October 19th in Balboa Park
November: CASC Conference November 14-15, Double Tree Mission Valley
December: End of Semester Party!
Spring Semester: Fundraiser Comedy Show 

Lastly, I want to congratulate our two new members of the SCGSA Exectuve Board! I am so excited to finally have a full board to serve you this school year. I want to make an important note about dues. Since we now have a Treasurer, we will be looking at our funds and decide as a group what dues will be this year. So be on the lookout for that information!

Treasurer

I am very excited for this upcoming school year! If you ever have any questions, comments, concerns, ideas etc., please do not hestitate to talk to me, or anyone on the board!

Your President,

Christine
