The ICA Graduate Student Committee has been working hard to develop ways
for students from different universities to get to know one another.
Our goal is that students might be able to offer advice, ask questions,
and engage in dialog with each other. Each week there will be different
questions or thoughts posted on Facebook, Twitter, and the blog for
students to respond to. Besides the social media aspect the committee
plans on creating opportunities for students to get together throughout
the year. Our first chance will be at the ICA conference in Springfield.
We will have a table there with information and a place for students to
meet.
Below you find links to following pages that we hope students find helpful. Please spread the word!

Get connected to Peer Support for the Illinois Counselor Forum at
http://counselor2counselor.org/forums/ The discussion forum is a useful
tool for organizing information in a stable manner that can be accessed
over time by topic. It can be a repository for job information, testing
and licensing information, and program and class information. Any member
can create a topic or reply to an existing topic, so it has the
potential to evolve in any direction needed. As more students join, it
can be a place to find peer to peer support for their grad school
journey. If educators or licensed counselors are willing to join as
online mentors, it can also be a source for students to come with
questions.
Become engaged by first being informed. Check out what is going on with
the Illinois Graduate Student Committee, a standing committee of
