<div>Greetings!</div>





<div>My name is Katie Wachtel and I am the Student Task Force
representative for the American Rehabilitation Counseling Association.<span>&nbsp; </span>I am writing CORE accredited programs
to share an exciting and unique opportunity for students.<span>&nbsp; </span>As many of you know, there has been a
lot of discussion and movement toward changes within the RC profession.<span>&nbsp; </span>In response to these changes, ARCA has
expressed an emphasis on the need to develop and maintain the professional
identity of rehabilitation counselors in order to prevent further fragmentation
within the profession.<span>&nbsp; </span>It is the
hope that by raising awareness within the profession, we can educate other
professionals, as well as society about the unique contribution of
rehabilitation counselors.<span>&nbsp; </span>We
believe that one way to accomplish this goal is to start with the future
professionals:<span>&nbsp; </span>the students.<span>&nbsp; </span>Students provide a fresh perspective
that may be invaluable to the future of the profession.<span>&nbsp; </span>With this vision, ARCA has announced
the Understand Rehabilitation Counseling program.<span>&nbsp; </span>This program will allow students the opportunity to use
their creativity to develop a plan to increase the number of people who
understand rehabilitation counseling.<span>&nbsp;
</span>I am attaching a copy of the most recent ARCA newsletter, which outlines
the specifics of the program (on page 3).<span>&nbsp;
</span>I request that you please pass this information on to any interested
students.</div>





<div>We hope students will take advantage of this opportunity and
look forward to seeing some positive outcomes for the profession based on
student involvement.</div>





<div>I appreciate your time.</div>



<div>&nbsp;</div>



<div>Cheers,</div>



<div>Katie A. Wachtel </div>
