Welcome to the 2020-2021 Academic Year!
We greet you with wide open hearts as we recognize we are entering this
year under extraordinary circumstances. As members of the counseling and DePaul
communities, we play a vital role in the promotion of social justice, in the
necessary and often difficult work of building bridges, of listening
empathically and in acting with purpose and integrity for the rights and
freedom of all. We take this call seriously—you are either an agent of
change or an enabler of the status quo. We must use our most powerful
tools—compassion, kindness, and empathy—to answer the question of St. Vincent
DePaul, “what must be done?”
This year, we will continue to ask that question of ourselves and of you.
This past spring, despite less than a week to prepare for a virtual reality, we
answered it in meaningful ways. For example, we:
·
Created
and implemented a strengths-based program serving 27 families in the community
·
Were
the only program in the state to lobby the Illinois Department of Financial and
Professional Regulations (IDFPR) and thus were the only program in the state to
be granted a variance for our interns
·
Developed
and implemented the DePaul WORKS program to provide career and wellness coaching in both
English and Spanish for individuals who have been impacted by the current
Pandemic
·
Co-hosted
a conversation with students and faculty from Mexico, Australia, Brazil and
DePaul about the impact of CV-19 on global education
·
Began counseling DePaul students on
the waitlist of the University Counseling Services
·
Worked with our
web-designer to build a landing page for resources and student webcasts related to wellness topics so they could
be shared with our Chicago community
·
Proudly supported one of our students, Mara Pollard, with the
creation a new program called Fueling our
Frontline Heroes, providing snack packs and wellness kits for safety net
hospitals in the Chicagoland area
·
Created our first-ever
virtual student showcase, highlighting students’ research and outstanding
alumni, with over 100 attendees across the nation
We must continue to harness our talents and strengths to build a better
tomorrow. In that vein, many of you were involved last year in helping us
select new members of our counseling faculty. As such, we have hired three new
tenure track professors who we know will help move us forward and equip our
students well:
Eric Brown
Dr.
Eric Brown received his PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Old
Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. His research interests include
trauma, interracial supervisory and counseling relationships, and interracial
mentoring. He is an active member of the American Counseling Association and
the Association for Counselor Educators and Supervisors. He pursued his PhD in
Counselor Education because of his passion for working with beginning

backgrounds. Dr. Brown works in private practice one day a week at Alliance

color. She is active in Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), the National Career
Development Association (NCDA), the American Counseling Association (ACA), and
the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES). Dr. Cabell is
currently a reviewer for the Journal of Employment Counseling and the Journal
of Equity in Behavioral Health Therapy. In addition, she is the 20-21 Secretary
of the Illinois Career Development Association and a member of the CSI

We
are thrilled Drs. Brown, Burgess, Cabell have joined our team! Please be sure
to extend each of them a warm DePaul welcome.
And, welcome back, Dr. Steven Hamm for his
second year as a term faculty with us! Dr. Hamm served in the United States
Navy for 20 years and his time included deployments to the Persian Gulf region
in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement
Medal, awarded by the Vice President of the United States for his control of
helicopter operations in the northern Persian Gulf. Upon retirement from

Current
faculty members continue to collaborate with Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Survivors, the Chicago Archdiocese and the CBO Collective to promote positive change in our local and global communities. We hold executive
offices in our professional organizations and serve on editorial boards of
selective, top-tier journals. Most importantly, we care about serving the mission of DePaul and we care about YOU.
What
will you do to rise up to meet this moment? We can’t wait to hear your answers
and we are here to support you every step of the way.
I
wish you all a productive, safe, and fulfilling fall quarter. Take care of yourself.
Take care of each other. Take care DePaul.
With
warm autumn wishes,
Dr. Ockerman, CSL Program Director
