We will have the annual

2002 at 5:00p.m. in Lommen 210. Heads up...this is an earlier hour than in the
past. Orientation will be held in
conjunction with/in lieu of the first class session for Introduction to

classes.
ADVISING TIPS FOR SUMMER 2002
There are two required courses
offered this summer. ED 602,
Statistics, will be offered from 8:00 to 9:20a.m. Monday - Thursday in Lommen 78
and ED 603, Methods of Research, will be offered 9:45 to 11:05, Monday -
Thursday in Weld 16. Both classes
are held during First Summer Session, June 3 to July 5, 2002.
You can also take ED 602 and
ED 603 via the internet. Talk to
your advisor about whether or not this type of study would work for you.
You can sign up for the internet courses at the MSUM Continuing Studies
Office, 811 11th Street South (just west across the street from Owens Hall in
the blue house). Call for further information at 218-477-2183. You can also

The course, CNSA 420/520 Basic
Counseling Skills offered by Bill Packwood from June 3 to July 5, is for Non-Majors
ONLY. It is not open to people
who are majors in Counseling and Student Affairs.
If you take this course and later apply to the masters program, you will
still need to take CNSA 620, Counseling Skills I.

School Counseling track students will now be required to attend the annual School Counselor Orientation Day sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Children, Families & Learning and held in Roseville. This can be attended while in any year of the program but will be especially helpful if attended near or during the internship.
