 Filling a Void: ODU Counseling Program Serves Norfolk Residents
Thanks to the work of Dr. Danica G. Hays and three ODU doctoral students, some of Norfolk's most needy residents are receiving mental health and substance abuse counseling free of charge.
ODU students interning with the Norfolk Community Services Board provide individual and group therapy to patients in a controlled and supervised environment. As part of their comprehensive practicum, the doctoral candidates gain exposure to real world scenarios working with patients who otherwise might have gone unserved. Now in its second year, the program is one example of Old Dominion University's mission to make a postive impact in Hampton Roads while giving students practical experience.
The ODU Graduate Counseling Program is receiving national recognition as a result of this type of innovative work. Among other awards, The Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) recently named the department the top graduate program in the nation. Read about the prestigious award here.

|
| |
Despite the advent of social media, online job searches and resume services, career fairs remain one of the easiest ways to connect with potential employers. CMC employee Gary Bibik '94: "A career fair gives you an opportunity to be more than just the piece of paper or email. It gives you that opportunity to make a first impression when you might otherwise have not gotten the chance."
The CMC Fall Career Fair on Thursday, October 8 is open to all ODU alumni as well as current students. For more information, including a list of registered employers, visit CMC online. If you are an employer and would like to participate an upcoming event, email Alice Jones.
