Vacancy Number: PD-0011

Position Number: TBD

Brief Summary of Work for this
Position

• Consultation regarding
  developmental and psychological/ emotional health issues
• Campus training (in conjunction with Counseling Center
  staff)

• A consultation project in an area of interest (consistent with
  Counseling Center needs)

Fellows are expected to engage in services for a diverse client base and diverse campus organizations.
