CSI Chapter Planning Committee

Be a part of CSI Chapter Planning Committee!

Hi Students,

As you are all aware, our program is currently preparing for our CACREP accreditation visit next month and we are all excited about the opportunities that accreditation would provide us. Among those opportunities is the option to create a St. Vincent DePaul Counseling Program chapter of Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), the international honor society for counseling programs. The CSI mission is to promote scholarship, research, professionalism, leadership and excellence in counseling, and to recognize high attainment in the pursuit of academic and clinical excellence in the profession of counseling. Membership benefits include recognition, professional development opportunities, resources, leadership development and awards.

We need you to help us develop by-laws and procedures for the initiation of new members and to create a vision for the chapters co-curricular activities.

To find out more about Chi Sigma Iota, take a minute to review the webpage https://www.csi-net.org/

If you are interested in becoming a part of the CSI Chapter Planning committee, please contact Dr. Parries (mparries@depaul.edu ) or Josh Stober (jcstober@gmail.com)

Deadlines for Registration - CSL 466

Dear CSL Students,

Many of you have been inquiring about the CSL 466 (Chemical Dependency) course offered in the winter. We created this specific section for SC and CCSA third year students who wanted to sit for their LPC, as a direct result of their advocacy efforts. We understand that some 2nd and 1st year students are also interested in taking this course. As such, we have devised the following deadlines for registration, giving first priority to 3rd year SC and CCSA students. Please make a note of it and register within the designated windows below:

October 15^th – open to all 3^rd year CCSA and SC students (began Fall 2016 or earlier)

October 26^th – open to all 2^nd year CCSA and SC students (began between Winter 2017 & Fall 2017)

November 1^st – open to all CSL students

As always, you should consult your course plan (located on Livebinder) to determine your schedule. Should you have any questions related to your course selections, please reach out to your faculty advisor.

My best,

Dr. Ockerman
