Faculty

 

As stated in our “Program Values”, our faculty constitutes the program’s main asset. We have been able to select and retain a group of seasoned and junior faculty members who enjoy teaching, interacting, and training students.  They are professionals mindful and reflective of their own personality and professional growth and who value the program’s philosophy and mission.  This faculty is multidisciplinary and therefore capable of providing a broader range of didactic and clinical experiences to our students.  By the end of their training, our students are familiar with the different professional roles needed to practice contemporary School Psychology in diverse clinical, educational, and community-based settings.
