Help Needed From a Fellow Counseling Student

As received from Ms. Rivers on the HDSV list serve:


My name is Tiffinee Hamilton and I am a doctoral candidate in the counselor education & supervision program at Old Dominion University. I am conducting a research study for my dissertation, under the supervision of Dr. Edward Neukrug, which consist of constructing a new assessment that evaluates theoretical orientations of counselor trainees. The maximum time needed to complete the entire survey is approximately forty-five minutes. This includes completing a few measures and a short demographic questionnaire. I am making a conscious effort to reach out to HBCU's counseling, human service, social work, and psychology programs in an effort to have a large sample of students of color in Undergraduate, MA and Ph.D. programs. 
  
Thank you so much your help is graciously appreciated.
