School Counseling Student Association

If you are admitted to the Counseling program, you are automatically a member of the School Counseling Student Association (SCSA), also referred to as the Student Group. We're always looking for up-and-coming leaders, so attend the meetings and see where you may be able to jump in and help.

Meetings are announced on the listserv. They typically occur once a month after classes.

The SCSA is always growing and evolving, based on student ideas. Currently, we are involved with the following activities:

• Student Socials

• • A chance for new and current students to meet and mingle.

• National School Counseling Week

• • Held the first week in February, activities often include keynote speakers, advocacy for the profession and volunteer opportunities which give back to the community.

• Comprehensive Exam Study Groups

• • Student leaders help organize study groups for students preparing to take the Comprehensive Exam.

• Conference Alumni Events

• • Help coordinate planning for the alumni events held during WSCA and MSCA conferences.

• Wisconsin School Counselor Association and Minnesota School Counselor Association Conferences

• • Attend professional conferences to learn more about the profession and expand your resume.

• New Student Orientation

  • Help newly admitted students become acquainted with the program. 

• Open House Volunteers

• • Meet prospective students and talk about why YOU chose UWRF.

• Professional Organization Student Representatives

• • Volunteer to become more involved with the professional organizations (i.e., MSCA and WSCA), and advocate their importance to the broader student community.
