Career opportunities in counseling and psychology
This book is intended to assist current graduate students; those interested in a graduate degree in the fields of counseling and psychology and those who have graduated from a graduate program in counseling and psychology gain the information necessary to choose the appropriate career path. Graduate schools offer academic training in a variety of counseling and psychology disciplines, such as: counseling psychology, school psychology, mental health counseling, school counseling and etc. At the graduate level it is most expedient for students to choose a discipline at the beginning of their program. Delays and changes after the first or second semester can prove to be very costly and time consuming. Most graduate programs offer open houses and information sessions, provide information about their degree offerings through their website and provide faculty advisement to students interested in pursuing careers in counseling and psychology. Unfortunately, these informational opportunities do not prevent students from making changes and preparing for professions that don't really suit their professional goals, personalities or life styles. Most students enter the field of counseling and psychology with great enthusiasm, conviction and direction, some students enter unsure of what opportunities will be available upon graduation. Some students who do choose a career are unaware of the licensure requirements, roles and responsibilities, and specific training needed for that career. In search for a guide to assist students in gaining the knowledge they need about opportunities after graduation, there were very few resource guides found. Many books discuss best practices in certain fields, professional development in certain areas and licensure and certification requirements in response to current legislation, but few provide enough information on career options after completing graduate studies in counseling and psychology.

Understanding University Committees
Committees are indispensable to the governance of higher education, yet there is seldom guidance to faculty and administrators on how committees should be conducted or how to maximize committee obligations.
This is the first handbook on how both to manage committees and how to engage effectively as members to achieve departmental or broad institutional goals, and how participation valuably contributes to individual learning and advancement.
Based on empirical research, organizational theory, and interviews with faculty and administrators, Dr. David Farris provides an informative and vivid examination of the dynamics of committee work, addresses the planning, conduct, roles, composition, and dispositions of members as well as the institutional context and structures in which they operate that are vital to organizational success.
Committees are not just laboratories for implementing the vision of university leadership, developing solutions to institutional challenges, and refining organizational procedures; they are the proving ground for future leaders in higher education. How members perform in committees reflects our professionalism, aptitude, integrity, and character - all-important considerations given that we serve as ambassadors for our department, college, office, and colleagues.
In addition to reviewing the mechanism of committees, Dr. Farris provides practical information regarding the functional application of committees (tactical, operational, or strategic), committee leadership and management, group dynamics that influence committee performance, and the importance of diversity and inclusive committee cultures to institutional performance.
