Letter from the Chair Greetings from the Midwest! I am not going to predict what the weather is like as you read this because it is liable to be 15 degrees different (warmer or colder) from what it is as I write. If you are an alumnus, or have access to the BSU Alumnus Magazine, you know that CPSY was honored with the center article in the most recent issue. It was a pleasure to work with Laura Ford to make that article happen, and an even greater pleasure to see our good deeds appear in LIVING COLOR! I am, as al­
ways, proud of the work that CPSY faculty and students do wherever they do it. !"#$%&'()#%
BSU
Department of Counseling Psychology Teachers College Room 622 Muncie, IN 47306 And we continue to receive accolades – the most recent issue of The Career De­
velopment Quarterly brings a content and trend analysis by Flores et al. (2006) on the amount of racial/ethnic minority vocational research published in the four main career journals between 1969 and 2004. I am ecstatic to report that CPSY is ranked 12th in that list of institutions pub­
lishing such research, and I personally was tied for 5th in the number of articles pub­
lished during that time period. While I am very excited for CPSY, I must say that there is a great need for authors to focus their ca­
reers on this area (considering that I did not start publishing in that area until the late ‘80s, for goodness’ sake!). I should take a moment to blow my own horn and announce that I was recently named a Fellow of the American Psychological Association through Division 17! It is a great honor to be invited to join this small but prestigious group, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to share my excitement with you, my aca­
demic family. On another, sadder note, I am again reminded that there will always be a need for all of our fields (counseling, social psychology, and counseling psychology) to try to explain the unexplainable. This time last year we were trying to under­
stand the psychological impact of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma on the Gulf Coast and the rest of the country. This year, this month, we are trying to !"#$%&$'()*#$*+,-(*./*

understand the rash of school shootings occurring across the country. As I write this I am monitoring the news of a fatal shooting of girls at an Amish school in Pennsylvania. Why that school? Why that man? Why all of those girls? This is, in fact, the second school shooting in recent days involving an adult man and young girls; it is at once shocking and numbing. As (future and current) counselors, social psychologists, and counseling psy­
chologists we are in a position to not only ask the ques­
tions but to be involved in seeking the answers. We hope that if we can’t deter the next shooting, that we can at least assist quickly and ably in the aftermath. I just read that President Bush is calling for a school violence summit to look at the federal government’s role in helping local communities stop the violence. Clearly we should be represented at that table. We should also be represented in our local communities as another resource to provide support and guidance. If you are looking for a way to use your training and talents for the good of the com­
munity, I can’t think of a better one. I wish you all the best as you move through the fall and finish out 2006! Sb CPSY and Division 17 Conference Committee Dr. Larry Gerstein has been ap­
pointed as the Co­Chair of the Division 17 Conference Com­
mittee. He was elected to Co­
Chair in the Spring of 2006. One of his responsibilities will be to serve on the Planning Committee for the 2008 Interna­
tional Counseling Psychology Conference to take place in Chicago. The International Section was formally approved by the Execu­
tive Council of Division 17 in August, 2006. The Section is dedicated to encouraging, pro­
moting, and facilitating a scien­
tist­professional model of coun­
seling psychology in interna­
tional contexts in the U.S.A. and around the globe. For further information, visit www.internationalcounselingpsy

vested by Drs. Spengler, Ægisdóttir, and White and several students on the federally funded Meta­Analysis of Clinical Judgment (MACJ) research project. Many of you participated on this project as Page 2
assistants and co­
authors. The members of the MACJ project are proud to announce that two large meta­
analyses were recently published from this project, one on clinical versus statistical prediction (Ægisdóttir, White, Spengler et al. 2006) and the other on experience and judgment accuracy (Spengler, White, Ægisdóttir et al., in press). Both publications are in G>(*

gressman Mike Pence, asking him to support a bill to award His Holi­

sional Gold Medal. The congress­
man was quick to reply yes to his request. The picture was taken on June 9, 2006. It was taken in front of the congressman’s office in the Can­

Dr. Bowman Awarded Fellow Dr. Bowman was recently named a Fellow of the American Psychological Association through Division 17, Society of Counseling Psychology. The Fellow status becomes official in January 2007. According to the APA webpage: Election to Fellow status re­
quires evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or per­
formance in the field of psychol­
ogy. Fellow status requires that a person's work has had a national impact on the field of psychol­
ogy beyond a local, state, or re­
gional level. A high level of competence or steady and con­
tinuing contributions are not suf­
ficient to warrant Fellow status. National impact must be demon­
strated. In Dr. Bowman's case, her con­
tributions in administration and service were of particular note.

here at Ball State University. Jeff Waye is a first year M.A. student on the double major track in Social Psychology and Counseling. Jeff is originally from Hudson, Ohio and went to Taylor University in Upland, Indiana for his bachelor’s degree. Jeff has really been enjoying the program here at BSU so far and feels that it is “great to be able to practice counseling skills and focus my academics on the topic We’re on the Web!

I’m most interested in.” He said he is also especially excited for practicum to start this January. Jeff said that he loves how willing the professors are to meet with students and provide them with insight from their own personal experience. He points specifically to Dr. White and Dr. Dixon who he says, “have both been great with helping me to get in­
volved in research.” Jeff is still torn at the moment as to whether he would like to begin practicing with his M.A. or continue his education by going straight on to a doctoral program. While he has two years to decide, he admitted that lately he has been lean­
ing towards the doctoral route. Overall though, as he goes forth to do whatever he chooses, he hopes to leave feeling confident and prepared to do counseling in a variety of approaches. When he can find some down time in between classes and working he enjoys weightlifting, watching movies, playing ultimate Frisbee, and spending time with friends. Aimee Prater, originally from Wyandotte, Michigan, also started with us this fall but in the Ph.D. program. She comes to us after receiving her bachelor’s from Western Michigan University and two Master’s degrees from Michigan State University. She has been very happy with her experience at BSU so far, finding the faculty and advanced doctoral students very supportive and great resources. Aimee also enjoys being part of a smaller university that is more centered around the students and offers several bene­
fits (i.e. access to exercise facilities and sporting events). Her favorite part of the program though, she admits, “is all of the choices and different things you can become involved in.” She appreciates having the ability to choose which area she wishes to focus on. She also is excited about the many research opportunities and experiences available to her here that she may not have had the opportunity to participate in elsewhere. Aimee is hoping that as she leaves the program she will have the skills needed to work in a career in academia or at a university counseling center. She is specifically interested in teaching, supervising, and training beginning counselors. Some of her favorite activities include meeting new people and having interesting conversations. Aimee also admits she has, “a passion for the theatre and music and figured skated most of my life, even in college.” She also enjoys spending time outside skiing and camping, along with reading and spending whatever time she can spare with her family whom she misses greatly. She also stays true to her hometown teams and cheers on the Red Wings, Tigers, Pistons, and even the Lions. We would like to wish Jeff and Aimee, along with all the new students, a wonderful year and the best of luck!
