IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DIVERSITY: The Counselor Education and Supervision program at Kent State University has diversity as a core value and diversity is integrated throughout the curriculum. As a student in the program, you will be expected to work with and affirm fellow students and clients who may be sexual minorities, who are of different races, ethnicities and religions, and who come from varying socio-­‐economic statuses. The experience will challenge you, and you will need to be open to new ways of encountering people. The program faculty, staff and supervisors will be there for support in this journey. By signing this prospectus you are embracing this approach to diversity as the core of your professional identity. * When registering EVAL 65511 is listed in the Evaluation and Measurement courses and ESPY is listed in the Educational Psychology courses.
