White and Colleagues Received a Grant from The Association for Counselor Education and Supervision

Ebony White, PhD, assistant clinical professor, and colleagues received a grant from The Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) to conduct research on a project titled Implementing Social Justice Strategies Across Core Curriculum in CACREP Programs.

"In this research study, we seek to identify strategies that current faculty in CACREP programs use to incorporate multicultural and social justice into their teaching across the core curriculum. We hope to provide specific recommendations for faculty teaching in CACREP programs to embed multicultural and social justice practice into their teaching. Although our study will address all facets of counselor education and supervision (i.e., research, supervision, leadership development, etc.) our primary focus at this time is on teaching."
