Summer II Practicum Announcement
Summer Practicum Students,
I hope that all of you are doing well. This letter will outline the meeting dates for PC6410. Summer II term begins on Thursday, June 28th. Although our class is designed to be a Wednesday evening class; we will have our first class meeting on Thursday, June 28 from 6-9 pm. It is necessary to begin immediately so that students will have enough weeks of supervision time for practicum requirements. We will not meet during the second week of the term in celebration of Independence Day (July 4th). We will resume class on July 11th and will subsequently meet every Wednesday until August 15th which marks the end of the Summer term. In addition, I am requiring that all students check in with the class via ecollege using the “email all” function during the week that we have off and during the interim. The dates are as follows: July 4th, August 22, and August 29th. Further instruction on this will be given on the first evening of class.
Finally, Fall term begins on September 4th and we will resume our class meetings for Internship on Wednesday evenings beginning on September 5th. I hope that this letter providesyou with enough time to make accommodations for the mandatory meetings outlined above. If for any reason you are not able to attend please consider signing up for a Fall term Practicum start.
I look forward to seeing all of you on June 28th!

Comp Questions
I have heard from more than one student that there is confusion regarding the comps. Let me try to see if I can sort some things out for you.
First, comps are given twice a year. We offer them in December and then again late May or early June (depends upon when weekend classes occur). These are the only times and there are no exceptions. So, you want to watch the blog for information for when and how to register. The calendar of testing for comps and NCE is given here on the blog. The only thing missing is the May/June date. That is being worked on and we should know in a week or two.
The second question that keeps coming up is "when should I take the comps"? There are two ways to answer this. First, you must have most or all of your courswork completed. Certainly you must have the basic core courses completed because these are what is tested. These classes are the first 6-8 courses that are in your sequence. For more specifics, see your advisor. Second, even if you have the core 6-8 classes completed, most students wait until their last term or second last term. In other words, usually during your practicum and internship phase.
Finally, people ask how to prepare. Again there are multiple answers. You should know the information being tested because your classes have covered the material. However, if you feel you may forget what was to be learned in your classes, you can study your textbooks again or get the book, Encyclopedia of Counseing. This is used by most. If you really want to study, there are study courses you can take as well. You can find out more about study courses from your advisor.
I hope this helps some. If you have more questions, again speak with your faculty advisor.

Argosy is almost a winner
As I have mentioned to many of you, every year at the ICA conference they identify which university has the most students in attendance. For the last three years Argosy has either had the most or been in second place. Again this year, we got second place. As I understand it, we lost by one student to Northern Illinois University.
So, good and bad to this. It is good that we are making a great show at the conference. Believe me when I say, people know that Argosy has a quality counseling program and isn't just a casino. At the same time, I like winning. So, we have work to do for next year.
