New Student Orientation - Welcome
Welcome to the Counselor Education Program. A good beginning can set the stage for an enjoyable experience and the proper ending. The New Student Orientation is designed to set the stage for a quality graduate school exprience for you.
The orientation is an opportunity for us to provide new students with some resources that might help maximize their experience as a student at USM. We have an outstanding department that has a reputation for quality programs, superior students, and a group of faculty and staff who really enjoy working with one another...and with you.
We want you to feel a part of the USM community--and especially the School of Education and Human Development and the Department of Counseling, Adult & Higher Education--and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities offered throughout the campus. We also hope this information will assist you as you embark upon your graduate school experience so that you feel informed and connected to what's going on. So, once again, welcome...and let us know if there is something we can do to enhance your role as a learner here.
