The university community is invited to the 2016 Spring Faculty Lecture, “Superheroes, School Counselors, Professional Identity & Getting the Job Done,” featuring Lori DeKruyf, PhD, professor of counseling and recipient of the 2014-15 Graduate Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship.

Join us tonight (Tuesday) for the presentation. The lecture runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Lori will explore what happens when training and professional identity are at odds with job assignments – for “superheroes” and for school counselors – and offer suggestions as to what might be done. The event is sponsored by the Richter Committee and the Faculty Development Committee.

Prior to the lecture that evening, the 2016 Spring Richter Student Scholars Symposium is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Hoover lobby. Student scholars from George Fox graduate and undergraduate programs will present their research in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be served in both the symposium and lecture.
