Counseling Students &
Alumni, as you may know, each year there are several counseling and student
affairs conferences available for you to attend, both in-state and nationally.
Conferences allow students and professionals to learn about current best
practices and research in the field and expand your professional
networks. There is often a reduced rate for graduate students, which makes
it a great time to attend! We also encourage you to get together with
a faculty member or peers to submit a conference proposal. Below are
some conferences to keep in mind:
