Chapter 10: ECP Student Clubs and Organizations
Active Club
The ECP Active Club builds a community for graduate students interested in active movement. By fostering an active routine, this may help students alleviate burnout in the present as well as future circumstances.
Creative Haven
Creative Haven fosters space to gain comfort and skills in expressive arts for self care and to facilitate the use of creative expression as an intervention in client work or as a way to decompress.
Creative Writing Club
The Creative Writing Club facilitates an experience of wellness through story telling and exploring wonder through worldbuilding. This club also fosters the ability to be intentional through storytelling.
First-Gen Bronco Circle
The First Generation Bronco Club mission is to foster the importance of creating spaces of belonging and curiosity to encompass conversations that drive into social justice, transformation, diversity, and community. First-Gen supports students who identify as first generation or simply would like to become associated with supporting their peers or future clients.
Graduate Student Association (GSA)
The purpose of the GSA is to provide a forum in which all interested students can increase their involvement with the University, the school, the department, and fellow students. The goal of the organization is to support counseling psychology graduate students in their needs and growth. All graduate students in the Counseling Psychology program are members of GSA.
Helpers for Liberation
The Helpers for Liberation mission is to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can collectively learn about, and discuss, the injustices and inequality in the world. As well as develop the skills so that they can positively transform schools, communities, and greater society through their work.
Mindfulness Club
The club creates a safe space for students to learn and practice mindfulness techniques which they will be able to continue to use and teach to others after they graduate. Mindfulness techniques are known to promote positive well-being and reduce stress. However, for educators and counselors, relaxation and stress reduction become ever more important in maintaining a healthy and happy life. Incorporating mindfulness techniques into daily living could be argued as essential for those in a helping role.
Professional Wellness Club
The Professional Wellness Club focuses on self-care education and the wellbeing of ECP students through fun activities, support group meetings and faculty speaker events to facilitate a greater understanding of self-care as future professionals.
ECP Affinity Clubs
Our Affinity Clubs (listed below) serve as important spaces for fostering community, understanding, and support for various identities and experiences within our School. These clubs aim to build stronger, more inclusive communities within ECP. Our current Affinity Clubs continue to grow as more students express interest.
- Asian and Pacific Islander Student Club
- Black Student Alliance
- Latine/x Club
ECP Ambassador Program
The Ambassador program is the volunteer arm of our Admissions team. Our Graduate Student Ambassadors are official representatives of the School of Education and Counseling Psychology. They are called upon to represent their programs and the School at recruitment events, as panelists and committee members when appropriate.
