Lab’s Purpose Training site for Counselor Education practicum and internship Improve undergraduate student retention by helping student-clients identify resources that would help them be successful in the areas of academic development, career development and/or social/emotional development

What we know… Many undergraduate students struggle to get connected with the larger campus community during their early years at ECU Students who are connected to the campus community do better academically

What we hope to do… Provide a resource for making the first connection for students Lab Counseling Interns work with the student clients to identify the students’ interests, needs and career plans and to help connect the students to these resources

How do we do it… Provide McClammy Lab services to COAD 1000 students Counselor Intern will provide three sessions to the student client to help identify the students’ strengths, challenges, needs, interests From these sessions, the counselor will identify resources that will help the student become more engaged and successful The counselor serves as a bridge connecting students and resources

Triage Approach AISR Assess : Work with the student to explore personal strengths and challenges Identify: Areas of need, interests, plans for the future Support: Support the student’s exploration and thoughtful consideration of how to be successful as a college student preparing for a successful future career Refer: The student to an appropriate campus resource for continued support and connection to the campus community

For COAD 1000 One way to encourage students to utilize this resource is to include a Reflection & Exploration Assignment (Description for Syllabus Below)   Meet with a counselor at the McClammy Lab to discuss resources on campus and opportunities for connecting with those resources. Requirements: 3 meetings with the counselor Session 1: Intake & Paperwork Session 2: Exploring interests and plans for college and after college Session 3: Connecting with resources on campus To complete this assignment, you must enter your contact information, including your class section number and instructor’s name and email address in the online referral system.
