<p class="MsoNormal">Hello CPSY community and happy start of summer!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It was truly inspiring to see so many members of three cohorts of CPSY students walk across the stage and be hooded on Monday, with many others of you there to share in honoring this major achievement. Rain showers
or not—it was quite a joyful way to launch into summer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">I am writing because today is my first day serving as the Department Head for Counseling Psychology and Human Services (CPHS)</span></b><span style="color:black">. It is an honor to serve CPHS faculty, staff,
and students and help promote, support, and strengthen the outstanding research, teaching, and service that is the bedrock of our department. I am also grateful to Beth Stormshak for her
</span>excellent<span style="color:black"> leadership as CPHS Department Head for the past 5 years.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As I begin this new role, I want to thank our incoming and outgoing leadership team and
<b>describe an interim leadership plan for the CPSY program</b>. There are some changes in leadership and I recognize that change can be a bit bumpy sometimes, but, I am confident that together we can further strengthen our program and improve the student and
faculty experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">First</span></b><span style="color:black">, Benedict McWhirter has completed his service as program director and Ellen McWhirter has completed her service as director of clinical training (DCT). Please join
me in thanking Ben and Ellen for the countless hours of time and the thoughtful leadership that each has individually dedicated to the CPSY program for many years.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Second</b>, w<span style="color:black">e have a 1-year interim leadership plan for CPSY</span> b<span style="color:black">eginning today and continuing until June 15, 2023</span>.
<span style="color:black">I am happy to share that </span>as part of this interim plan,
<span style="color:black">Anne Marie Mauricio will step into the role of DCT. </span>
Anne Marie has a PhD in Counseling Psychology and extensive experience training practitioners.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Third</b>, <span style="color:black">CPSY program director duties will be shared by several individuals during the interim year. We will provide a document later this summer that helps you know who to go to for a given topic, given our
modified interim structure for the coming year.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Fourth</b>, i<span style="color:black">n fall, faculty will discuss and create plans for CPSY program leadership for AY23-24 and beyond</span>. This will be part of faculty-led long-term visioning activities for the entire department,
including the CPSY program. We will seek student input as part of our faculty processes later in fall.<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As we are members of one department, and many of us work closely with students and faculty in other CPHS programs, I am also sharing the leadership plans for our other three programs below. Faculty hold many hats
across multiple programs, thank you CPHS faculty!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Family and Human Services.</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> FHS will continue to be led by an Undergraduate Council. For AY 22-23, faculty who are providing this service are: Jen Doty, Jean Kjellstrand (fall term only),
Atika Khurana, Benedict McWhirter (Chair), Chris Murray, James Muruthi, and Karrie Walters.

director for PREV at the end of the month.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we move into summer, I also want to acknowledge the recent process that the CPSY program underwent with the Ombudspeople. Faculty heard many areas of concern expressed. As we consider those concerns and move forward with long-term visioning
for the department and program, I would also ask that we all do some reflecting on elements of the CPSY program that are working well. This will help ensure that, like our clinical work, we use a strengths-based approach as we move forward with plans for the
future to build on program strengths while remedying and reducing our areas of growth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wish everyone a restorative summer—whether that be travel, beach or mountain time, family time, or simply more time to sleep and to read for pleasure. Each and every one of you has earned this, congratulations on the successful completion
of the 21-22 academic year!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">p.s., I know some of you more closely that others. If you don’t know me well, here’s is some brief professional info about me, I look forward to getting to know each of you a little more in the coming year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>A little bit about me</i>: My first alma mater is the banana slug—I graduated with my bachelor’s in psychology from UC Santa Cruz in 1990. I fell in love with Eugene when I visited here that year to explore graduate school, and I ultimately
received my PhD in Developmental Psychology from UO. After graduating, I accepted a post doc position at the Oregon Social Learning Center where I learned the ins-and-outs of research, worked with interventionists, and learned about grant writing and grants
management as I moved into research scientist and then senior scientist roles. I spent more than 15 years at OSLC, while raising two sons and getting my first experience in management by serving as OSLC’s Science Director. This was a wonderful career for the
early to middle part of my career, but I found that I missed students, teaching, and the interdisciplinary collaborations that are possible at liberal arts research universities like UO. I feel fortunate to have been hired into the College of Education as
a professor in CPHS in 2013 by then Dean Michael Bullis, and have the distinction of being his last tenure-line hire before he retired (note: correlation does not equal causation, as I hope I didn’t cause his retirement!). I have served as Associate Dean for
Research in the COE, Associate Vice President for Research in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, program director for Prevention Science, and interim director of the Prevention Science Institute. But, this is my first stint as department
head! I am looking forwarding to learning and growing in this role and representing and advocating for our programs, students, faculty, and staff.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
