Graduate School’s Emerging Leaders Program
Dear Graduate Students,
It is my strong belief that graduate education builds a foundation for leadership. At the
3
University of Georgia, I believe we are educating and preparing you to be our next generation of
citizens, scholars, and leaders. My goal is to provide you with a leadership program in which you
can gain a better understanding of your leadership skills and enhance your knowledge of what it
means to be a leader.
The Graduate School’s Emerging Leaders Program was developed to meet this goal. This is a
two-day intensive program that assists graduate students in strengthening their personal
leadership capabilities, exploring professional development opportunities, and interacting with
their colleagues from across campus. It is designed for students who plan to complete their
degree in at least the next two and one half years. The full program description and application
information can be found at http://www.grad.uga.edu/academics/description.pdf.
If the Emerging Leaders Program would help you to reach your career goals and you meet the
requirements, please contact your graduate coordinator and provide the application form
(http://www.grad.uga.edu/academics/emerging_leaders.pdf) and other information needed to
complete the nomination process. This program is offered at no cost to you except for the time
you commit for your own professional development and the transportation to Unicoi Lodge in
Helen, Georgia. Nomination packets must be received from the Graduate Coordinators by 5 p.m.
on Friday, May 1, 2009.
The program description and application form for the Emerging Leaders program are on the
Graduate School website, http://www.grad.uga.edu/academics/emerging.html.
If you have questions not answered on the website, please email Judy Milton at
jmilton@uga.edu.
Thank you for your interest!
Maureen Grasso
Dean of the Graduate School
Dear Graduate Coordinators,
May 1, 2009 is the correct submission date for Emerging Leaders applications. This is the date on the
application materials and on the website. My apologies for typing the incorrect date in the email you
received.

Research Requests
Dear Dr. Delgado,

I hope this e-mail finds you well, and I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to
read this note. Your e-mail address was obtained from the Directory of the Counseling/Clinical
Psychology Programs and from your university website.
My name is Cherisse Gill and I am a second-year Counseling Psychology student at Southern
Illinois University – Carbondale. I am currently collecting data for my Master’s Thesis project
on religion and spirituality issues in counseling and psychotherapy. The purpose of this research
is to construct a scale to measure how comfortable counselors-in-training feel with using
religious/spiritual interventions in psychotherapy. I am writing to see if you could forward my
request to your counseling/clinical psychology students to complete an online survey.
Participants who complete the survey will be automatically entered into a lottery for a chance to
win one of ten $20 gift certificates.
Below is a message that you can copy and paste to send through your listserv. Or feel free to just
forward this message, if that is more convenient.
If you have a chance, I would also greatly appreciate it if you would be able to reply to my email
and let me know whether you sent my request to your students. That would be helpful to me as I
try to estimate the response rate for my study.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email as well.
Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Cherisse Gill

Dear Dr. Delgado-Romero,
I am a Doctoral Candidate in the Counseling Psychology program at the University of Oregon. I am in the
final stages of my doctoral program and am collecting data for my dissertation. My dissertation chair is
Dr. Ellen McWhirter. I am conducting a survey focused on environmental justice advocacy and am
seeking participants who are students, practitioners, and/or educators in the specialty of counseling
psychology (or related mental health fields). Would you be willing to forward this research request to
students in your program and any other contacts you believe are appropriate?
Although I have already obtained approval from the IRB at my institution, I realize that some institutions
do not allow faculty to forward requests such as this. If that is the case at your institution, please disregard
this message.

Colleagues in Counseling Psychology: Since 1985, I have been writing a
regular "Psycholegal Notebook" column for the Florida Psychologist
. As you might guess, the
information deals with ethics and law in the context of private practice.
Due to requests from several state psychological associations to reprint the
articles, I have posted some on them on my (noncommercial) website
(www.BobWoodyHelpsPsychology.com) under the "New and Articles"
button.
The most recent posting is titled "Facing Up to Financial Realities." In part,
it offers review-type comments about the new book Financial Success in
Mental Health Practice, by Steven Walfish and Jeffrey E. Barnett (APA
Books, 2009). For what it is worth, I believe that it is time for psychologists to
unabashedly pursue and adopt astute financial strategies. If the psychologist
has financial security, our society will benefit.
I would welcome anyone making use of the article gratis, including reprinting
it in a state psychological newsletter or otherwise. Ever now and then, I add a
new one, so you might want to keep an eye on my website. Cordially, Bob
Woody, PhD, JD (University of Nebraska at Omaha)
