Doodle Poll for next GS Committee Meeting

Hello Fellow Graduate Students!

As we begin the new semester, I hope this email finds you renewed.  With the new year, there are exciting opportunities to become involved in with SACES!  Our graduate student committee met on January 7th, and I'm happy to say that we had many attendees who are eager to get involved with our SACES mission!

Please find the doodle poll link to vote on our next meeting day/time.  I know our lives as students are busy, but professional involvement is an important part of our journeys.  Come be a part of our next meeting in February.  All are welcome!  Attending a meeting does not commit you to anything, but allows you to explore the various opportunities available for graduate students within our organization.  

The doodle poll will be open until January 19th at 5 PM central time.  Once a date has been chosen, I will send another email with the date, meeting link, agenda and minutes from our January meeting.  I look forward to meeting you all at our next meeting!!

If you have questions or would like more information, please feel free to email me at grad.rep@saces.org.

SACES Graduate Student January Meeting and Blog

Greetings Fellow Graduate Students!

I hope this message finds you doing well and enjoying some much needed rest and relaxation between semesters.  Our next graduate student committee meeting is being held on January 7th from 2-3 central standard time.  Please see full meeting details at the end of this email.  We will be discussing updates on our work groups, as well as some exciting information regarding planning for our fall 2020 SACES conference.  The agenda offers several topics of discussion, as well as any new business graduate students would like to present.  Please join us and be an active part of our committee in 2020!!  I hope to see everyone there!

This month's blog from our talented blog committee is also included.  The holidays can be a very difficult time for people.  As counselors and counselor educators, having resources available to assist others is a must.  This blog offers helpful tips and resources that may come in handy as we navigate the end of 2019 and prepare for the beginning of 2020.  Thank you once again to our blog committee for writing about this important topic!
