3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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 address in the online referral system. Within 48 hours after you enter your information in the referral system, you will be contacted by a graduate student counselor working with the McClammy Lab to schedule a session. You and the counselor will work together to schedule your other two sessions. Once you have completed three sessions, the counselor will notify your COAD 1000 instructor that you have completed the sessions.
