Funding for Travel and Conferences

Interns are fully funded to travel to the Texas Counseling Center Intern Conference each year with the Training Director. At times, other conference attendance and travel may be available, depending on budgetary expenses. Typically, this includes the Texas University and College Counseling Center Conference (TUCCCC) in February, where interns will submit a proposal for a professional presentation. Some years, attendance at the Texas A&M Social Justice in College Counseling Conference will also be supported.

Monthly Luncheon

Interns meet monthly with the Training Director for lunch to discuss questions or concerns about training or about the program. It is also a time for the intern cohort and TD to be able to simply get know each other and share experiences.
