Notes from the Chair
Happy fall to you! As I write this, it is an 80 degree October day (yes, 80 degrees!). This is
the capper to an unpredictable season of odd weather. The summer got hot, hot, hot early. The
storms across the country were crazy, and the natural disasters just piled up on each other. From
droughts out west to flooding in the midwest to hurricanes out east, what could happen did happen.
As you probably know, the mid-Atlantic area experienced an earthquake last month. What you may
not know is that we felt the tremors here in Muncie! It was typically only felt in high rise buildings,
so TC started to vibrate. I have absolutely no need to experience anything stronger than that, nor do I
need to be on the sixth floor if it happens again.
Each fall, BSU announces a series of University faculty awards at the opening faculty meeting. Over the years, several members of the CPSY faculty have received one or more of these
awards. The past three years, Larry Gerstein, Charlene Alexander and I, in turn, have been honored.
This year, I am pleased to announce a fourth winner. Donald Nicholas received the University
Outstanding Faculty Service Award. He has been instrumental in service to the department, the
university, and community and the profession as a whole. Don helped develop the holistic wellness
model used at the Fisher Institute for Wellness and Gerontology on campus. He served as their
research director for several years. He developed our health psychology curriculum, using the practicum opportunity at what is now the IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital campus. A number of
doctoral program applicants apply here each year because they really want to work on his research
team. Believe it or not, he has chaired around 40 dissertations over the years! In addition, he has
been involved with the National Cancer Institute’s Palliative Care Board since 1998. He travels
regularly to Washington, D.C., to attend Board meetings, and has been instrumental in editing a significant amount of content on the website associated with the Board. I could go on, but you get the
point – this award was long overdue and well deserved. Congratulations, Don!
In other news, the clinical mental health and school counseling programs received two
years’ reaccreditation from CACREP. With the recent change in CACREP standards, we have some
relatively minor changes to incorporate, but once that is done we expect to be accredited for seven
years. Thanks to Drs. McGovern and Alexander for all the work they put in over the last couple of
years to get us ready to go. At the same time, Teachers College experienced its own accreditation
visit from NCATE, passing with flying colors. But, you know the fun never ends with accreditation;
the rehabilitation counseling and counseling psychology programs are due for visits in 2012-2013.
Two CPSY alumni serve on the TC Alumni Board right now: Chris Carr and Denny
Morrison. We really appreciate their willingness to take time out of their very busy professional and
personal lives to serve on this committee. And, as you will also see elsewhere in this issue, one of
our own has been named one of the TC Alumni of the Year – Lt. Col. Jill Scheckel (whose undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees are from BSU!). We are truly proud of her accomplishments.
And finally, Dr. Jeong Han Kim, director of the rehabilitation counseling program, will
be leaving us at the end of fall semester to join the faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University. We are saddened by this news, but understand his need to move on to the next chapter in
his professional and personal life. We wish him and his family all the best in their new home.

Last summer several students had the opportunity to travel to Iceland
with Dr. Stef. The purpose of the trip was to learn about Icelandic
culture, learn about the Icelandic youth work program, work with
youth in that program, and deliver some psychoeducational
presentations to youth and group leaders in the program. They were in
the town of Hafnarfjordur in Iceland June 25—July 11, 2011.

Student Interview: Audrey Miller
(M.A. Clinical Mental Health Counseling)
Where is your hometown?
Elkhart, IN, which is about 3 hours northwest of here.
Where did you get your bachelor’s degree and what was your major?
Indiana University at South Bend, with my major in Psychology and a minor in
Interpersonal Communication.
Why did you select this field of study?
Growing up, I had my own experiences in counseling. Friends also put me in the
role of ―counselor‖ for them but that can become dangerous when it is so informal
and you don’t know what you are doing. So I decided to pursue it professionally.
What do you think of your experiences at Ball State so far? And what do you like
about your program?
I really like it here and was pleasantly surprised in the differences between undergrad
and graduate school; you aren’t told what to do but rather it is ―time to do it
yourself‖. I like this program because I have the opportunity to do volunteer work
such as Caring Arts and how there is good preparation to just jump right in with
practicum spring semester.
What are your research and populations of interest?
Right now I can’t pinpoint one exactly, because I see the value in all of them and I'd
like to experience a little bit of everything. I may start with older kids though.
What are your future plans and career goals?
As of now, I’d like to stop at the master’s level, work for 10-15 years then go back
for my Ph.D. I want to be a lifelong learner. I’ll start here and see how it turns out.
What are some of your favorite interests and activities?
I like the sci-fi genre (Battlestar Gallactica and Star Trek) and I also like to read a lot.
Right now I’m writing a children’s book and may publish it later, or at least selfpublish a few copies.
Where would your dream vacation be?
I’d like to go to New Orleans, especially the French Quarter, and try to learn Creole.
What is your favorite book?
The Great Gatsby.
Movie?
1973’s Charlotte’s Web.

I have the opportunity to do
volunteer work…”

Student Interview:
Scott Fernelius (Ph.D. Counseling Psychology)
Where is your hometown?
Clio, MI (Just outside Flint on the east side of the state).
Where did you go for your bachelor's and master's degrees, and what were your majors?
Bachelor’s and master’s were both earned at Western Michigan University in business
administration and clinical mental health counseling, respectively.
What made you first interested in counseling?
I earned my BBA in April of 2001 and started a career in banking. After working in the
business world for 7 years, I decided that climbing the corporate ladder wasn't for me. I knew
that I wanted to work with people, but just wasn't sure in what capacity. In early 2008 I
moved to Grand Rapids, MI and decided to attend an open house for the clinical mental
health counseling program at WMU. I was impressed with the presentation and saw
counseling as the perfect way to help people in need. The rest is history!
What do you think of your experience at Ball State as a doc student so far? What do you
like about the program?
“I am also very interested in
multiculturalism and
appreciate the focus on this
issue at Ball State. “
It has been hectic, but amazing! I am blown away by the level of shared knowledge within
our department and by the sheer number of opportunities available to students. It's an exciting
place to be.
What are your research interests?
I completed a cognate in substance abuse treatment during my graduate studies and this is a
primary area of interest. I am also very interested in multiculturalism and appreciate the focus
on this issue at Ball State.
What are your future plans and career goals?
My future plans and career goals are under major development as we speak. I am interested
in teaching and also in practicing as a psychologist. I've been talking with many students and
faculty members regarding their experiences in a variety of settings, from VA hospitals and
community mental health agencies, to college counseling centers and academia. At this point,
I'm working to narrow my focus from a wide range of career options and interests.
What are some of your favorite interests and activities?
I'm an avid supporter of the greater Detroit sports contingent (Tigers, Lions, Pistons, Red
Wings, Wolverines, Spartans). I've played guitar for half my life and performed in a few rock
outfits over the years as a resident of Kalamazoo, MI. I also really enjoy listening to music
and recently started a vinyl collection. I am happily married and love spending time with my
wife and pets.
Where would you go for your dream vacation?
Japan.
What is your favorite book?
Our Band Could Be Your Life.
Movie?
Any featuring Bill Murray. Groundhog Day and Rushmore are tied for top honors.

Faculty Interview:
D r. D o n a l d N i c h o l a s
Where is your hometown?
Fort Wayne, IN
Where did you obtain your bachelors, master’s, and Ph.D degrees and what were
your majors?
I got my B.A. in Psychology at Indiana University-Bloomington, Master’s in
Clinical Psychology at Eastern Kentucky University, and my Ph.D. in Counseling
Psychology at the University of Southern Mississippi.
What brought you to Ball State?
My wife and I are both from Fort Wayne and have family in Indiana, so by the time
we had kids and after my education and Internship at West Virginia University School of
Medicine, we wanted to move back closer to family. And Ball State is a good location and close to
the family.
What led you to counseling and counselor education?
I’ve always had a curiosity about people and so I started in psychology. My brother-in-law, who
is 10 years older than I am, was a Clinical Psychologist in private practice so I learned about the
process and job opportunities from him. I had a focus on relationships and psychotherapy. Also I
had a few years of clinical experience between my Master’s and Ph.D. programs, but I didn’t
decide to go into academia until later in my doctoral experience.
Please describe your work within the department:
My first year here was 1983 and I have been the director of the practicum clinic for 15 years,
Director of Research in the Fisher Institute of Wellness for 4 years, Ball Hospital coordinator of
counseling and psychological services at the cancer center since 1994, and I have been the chair
for the Health Psychology cognate in our doctoral program. Also, I teach the Psychopathology,
Psychopharmacology, and Practicum courses, as well as a doc practicum course.
What are your research/teaching interests?
I am interested in research about counseling cancer patients, and that field in general. I, along with
two doctoral students, published a book about Cancer and the Family Life Cycle, and I am currently working on another book. One teaching interest is the Psychopathology course that I have
taught for the past 30 or so years.
Are you involved in any professional organizations?
Yes, I am a member of the APA, Division 17 and I’m on the editorial board for it’s journal (The
Counseling Psychologist). I am also currently the Past Chair, and have been the Chair and Chairelect for the Health Psychology Section under Division 17. I am part of the American
Psychosocial Oncology Society as well.
What are your favorite interests and activities outside of academia?
I like to go kayaking, biking, swimming, and spending time with my family.
What country would you most like to visit?
Brazil—When my kids were in high school, we hosted 3 to 4 high school students from Brazil for
a few months, and my son in turn went down there to study as well.
What is your favorite book?
The Emperor of all Maladies: A Biography of Cancer.
Movie?
A good movie is Fair Game, the story of Valerie Plame, CIA operative whose name was leaked.
“I have always had a
curiosity about people and
so I started in psychology.”
