Counselor Education Alumni
Graduation is just the beginning of your lifelong connection to Stetson’s Department of Counselor Education. Our alumni are making an impact in communities near and far, and we want to celebrate your successes, support your journey, and keep you connected to the Hatter family.
As a valued graduate, you are forever part of our department’s story. Staying connected helps us highlight your achievements, strengthen our professional network, and ensure the continued excellence of our CACREP-accredited programs.
How You Can Stay Connected
Stay involved in Chi Sigma Iota (CSI): Once you are formally initiated as a member of Stetson's Alpha Omicron chapter of CSI, it is a permanent membership. CSI is not just a student honor society; the international organization boasts a robust professional membership and offers many membership benefits for practicing counselors. Maintaining active membership in the Alpha Omicron chapter also allows you to give back to the chapter and stay connected to department activities. Reach out to our current chapter faculty advisors, Dr. Laura Cunningham and Dr. Jesse Fox, to see how you can get involved. Has your CSI membership expired? You can easily renew it on CSI's membership page!
Watch for our emails: Each year, you will receive a brief survey from our department requesting information about your current employment, preferred email, and phone number. Your response helps us stay in touch and meet CACREP accreditation reporting requirements.
Subscribe to our department newsletter: Stay connected with the latest Counselor Education news, alumni updates, student highlights, faculty achievements, events, and opportunities through The Listening Hat, our quarterly department newsletter.
Serve on our department's advisory board: Our advisory board meets regularly to provide feedback on the department's initiatives and processes to keep us on track with our mission and goals. You can be part of this vital process. Reach out to Dr. Bradley McKibben if you are interested in serving on the advisory board.
Keep your Stetson email for life: Complete the Lifetime Email Request Form. Be sure to log in regularly to keep it active.
Update your information: Complete an Alumni Profile Update Form so that Stetson can keep in touch with you. You can receive a free gift for completing the form!

Stetson Experience:
"One of the biggest takeaways from my time at Stetson was learning that I can only take my clients as far as I’ve explored my own emotional and psychological world."
