Dear Counselor Education Colleagues,

We are looking for Counselor Education PhDs who want to work in a research-oriented institution training in a CACREP accredited program.  Ideally, we are looking for someone who also has counseling background, although we will consider other cognate areas as well.

We need your help distributing this to those who might be interested in a faculty position in Counseling Education at WSU in Detroit, and this email is less formal and contains more information than the ads that will come out in the APA Monitor, Chronicle of Higher Education and the American Counseling Association Magazine, "Counseling Today".    Our team is writing this email to tell you about our program and university, our faculty, and our geographic area, all in terms of what we have to offer from a number of life perspectives in the professional/work, residential, and social/leisure areas.

Our core team:

Many of us teach across several programs but each of us is identified with one program primarily.

JoAnne Holbert, Ed.D.-Program Coordinator & Associate Professor, Counselor Education

John Pietrofesa, Ph.D.- Professor, Counselor Education

Arnold Coven, Ed.D.- Associate Professor, Counselor Education

Holly Feen-Calligan, Ph.D. - Associate Professor, Art Therapy

Tami Wright, Ph.D.-Assistant Professor, Clinical Director and Practicum/Internship

Coordinator, Counselor Education

George Parris, Ph.D. - Assistant Professor, Clinical Program Coordinator, Rehabilitation Counseling

John Branson, Ph.D.- Lecturer, Counselor Education

Sameerah Davenport, Ph.D.- Lecturer, Counselor Education

Shirley Mack, Ph.D.- Lecturer, Counselor Education

Also, we are richly complemented by a team of Ph.D.-holding adjunct faculty members who are practicing daily in the area and bring a combination of their doctoral level training and their extensive practice expertise to teaching our students the best practices and methods possible.

Purpose of this email:

We are searching for a new counselor education faculty member to join us in our training and research at WSU in Detroit, Michigan.  Here are some points about us:

--We are a vibrant, CACREP-accredited program with modern training approaches deeply embedded into our curriculum, instruction, and practice experiences.

--We have a large master's level program focused on practitioners, and a Ph.D. in Counseling focused for those who want to teach at the university level and do research.

--Our students have the option to be dually trained and state credentialed in school and community/clinical mental health counseling.   We also offer Rehabilitation Counseling training at the Master's level.

--Our new faculty member will be able to teach the program content that he/she wants to specialize in.  We have many options within our curriculum, and are flexible.

--We involve our students as representatives to the American Counseling Association and mentor them into the organizational and political aspects of the field.

--We also conduct extensive research and present at other major developmental and educational research conferences, e.g., American Educational Research Association.

--We are part of several research/grant teams and have a collaborative, team-based approach to conducting research, authoring publications and presentations, and writing/getting grants, not just internally in our area, but across our college, the university, and with other universities.   Bringing new faculty into the teams is our goal.

-- There is excellent research happening in Detroit throughout all of these areas of study.  Our campus has a large medical school and urban medical center, with renowned researchers, along with a wide array of undergraduate and graduate programs across our 25,000 students.  Our research office is spearheading many interdisciplinary projects between social-behavioral, medical, and engineering sciences, among others.  Lots of collaborators await!

--We do faculty golf outings, dinners out, lunches, and other fun things together.

The Counselor Education Program Coordinator's perspective on why you should consider coming to Detroit and to Michigan: :)

First, ignore all rumors about the weather!  We have a few months of winter, during which we ice skate, ski/snowboard, walk and play in the snow, enjoy winter festivals, attend hockey and basketball games, drink coffee, and much, much more.  And yes, we shovel snow!  But it's great exercise and the heavy snow and cold is really only here 2-3 months.  The rest of the time in Michigan is amazing with pleasant spring and fall temperatures, beautiful fall tree colors and trips to cider mills, rich green landscape everywhere in spring and summer, and warm/hot summers with plenty of great lakes and local lakes to enjoy for every time of activity imaginable.  We have amazing state and county park systems across the whole state.  There is rich history and geological landmarks everywhere.  And there is so much to do in Canada, too!

The Detroit Metropolitan area has about 5 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Detroit).  The city of Detroit is bordered to its east by the river separating us from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.  The other three "sides" of Detroit are surrounded by a diverse and vibrant collection of urban suburbs and more typical suburbs.  The urban suburbs reflect the charm of the first half of the 1900s, which is when most of the homes were built.  We have great downtown areas in these smaller municipalities and people walk and bike everywhere to restaurants, bars, shops, etc.  The suburban layer farther out affords larger homes and properties, typical of new developments.  But in all of the metro area, the suburbs are relatively close and generally no more than 45 minutes to downtown.

 Within the Detroit border is a vibrant city with rich history and culture.  It has been enjoying a massive economic upswing, including major infrastructure redevelopment, and it continues to grow in its abundance of art, music, and entertainment.  It is so exciting downtown!   In addition to the various museums and multiple concert halls, the city has copious amounts of dining options and very eclectic cuisines.  The riverfront parks and trails, greening projects, theaters, sporting events, and markets are exciting.  Many faculty live down town.  There are many loft style developments and renovated neighborhoods with homes from the Henry Ford era.  Geographically, Detroit as a whole is very large and there are many other beautiful neighborhoods throughout the city.

Nested within this wonderful city, right in the heart of midtown (about 2 miles from the heart of downtown yet connected and developed all along the two mile stretch of the historic Woodward Avenue) is Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center.  Other landmarks within our campus area are the Detroit Library, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Detroit Historical Museum, The African American History Museum, the Michigan Science Center, and more.  The Lions, Red Wings, and Tigers all play right downtown.  The Detroit Zoo is about 10 miles outside of the city center, and the Pistons play another 20 miles out past that.

In summary, WSU is beautiful, safe, scholarly, cutting edge, active, and diverse.  The social and aesthetic aspects of working here in not just Detroit but Michigan in general are wonderful!   We are looking for a strong match in these areas.

If you have questions about anything, please contact:  JoAnne Holbert, Program Coordinator, at jholbert at wayne.edu<mailto:jholbert at wayne.edu> or cell: (248) 996-0894.
