As graduate students and new professionals, it can be difficult to decide what we want to participate in. We often have many interests and little time. SACES recognized the need to provide a space where graduate students and new professionals can connect and support each other. That space is the newly formed graduate student/new professionals interest network.

Jan Gay and I would like to invite you to our first meet and greet on May 13, 2020 at 1 PM CDT. We want to talk with you and get to know your needs and how we can make this interest network most beneficial to you. Please join us and help us learn how we can better serve you with this group!

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to have anything specific added to our discussion.

Dr. Jennifer Nivin Williamson & Dr. Daniel Williamson

Thursday, April 16th 12pm-1pm EST
Register through Zoom

As supervisors and supervisees enter into new supervision relationships, it is easy to overlook key elements that can create friction in the relationship. This talk explores components that should be identified and negotiated in a 21st century contract including virtual supervision options, social media policies, payment structures, and much much more. (An article on the topic in Counseling Today)

Webinar objectives:

1. To outline key elements for negotiation when entering supervisory relationships.

2. To identify the relational elements involved in building and maintaining egalitarian supervisory relationships.

3. To explore major ethical dilemmas in modern supervisory relationships.

Presenter Bios: 

Drs. Daniel and Jennifer Williamson are founders of PAX Consulting and Counseling PLLC and Core Faculty with Capella University. They are both Fulbright Specialist Alumni in Mental Health and have trained counselors across the globe. They are recipients of the ACES Vision and Innovation Award.
