_ Business Scholarship and Awards Committee. Confidential Counseling Services Available Free of Charge to Students by June Wytock | WC guest It is a new semester at WCU and, as always, a time of transition. Often it is a time when people are faced with complicated, difficult and confusing choices; and sometimes things just do not go right. Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS), located on the second floor of the newly renovated Bird Building, offers a variety of services to your needs as a student. All services are free of charge and confidential. Just call 227-7469 to make an appointment, or check us out on the Web at CounselingCenter,weu.edu. You may be wondering, what can counseling do for you? A counselor can listen without judging, help you explore your thoughts and feelings, help you find alternatives, provide you with encouragement and help you discover your own solutions. Through counseling, you can learn to understand yourself better and become more effective in your relationships with others. This may involve changing behavior patterns or attitudes, learning new skills or enhancing your current strengths and abilities. There are several different ways that CPS counselors offer these services: individual counseling, group counseling, couple and family counseling, outreach programs, consultations and emergency services. Individual Counseling. You can talk personally with a counselor about anything on your mind and work with the counselor on goals that the two of you set. Individual counseling sessions are usually 50 minutes long and are scheduled once a week. Counseling is typically provided on a short-term basis (around 10 sessions). Group Counseling. CPS offers a variety of groups each semester. Groups usually consist of 4 to 10 people and meet for about 90 minutes once a week for 5 - 10 weeks. Groups currently available through the Counseling Center include the following: Creative Relaxation, Depression, Enhancing Relationships, Silent Meditation, Survivors of Sexual Assault/Abuse, Substance Abuse: Early Recovery, Eating Issues and Body Image, Enhancing Self-Esteem, Rainbow Room, Grief & Loss Group Join one of these groups by calling 227-7469, or call for more information about dates/times. You can ask to speak to the group leader if you would like more information about the group or ask that a Groups Brochure be sent to you. Some groups require a pre-group interview to be sure the group is right for you. Some professors offer bonus points or extra credit for attending a CPS group. If you cannot attend a group at the time given, please tell the group leader. It may be possible to arrange another time. The Womens Center is also offering two groups: a support group and a creative expression group. Contact Rebecca Caldwell at The Womens Center, 227-3982, for more information or to pre-register. You may also email her: rcaldwell@wcu.edu Couple and Family Counseling. Often a problem does not involve you alone. It may also concern other important people in your life, such as your boyfriend or girlfriend, your partner, your children or your parents. When a problem arises in a relationship or a family, it is often helpful to have everyone involved come for counseling together. A counselor can help you talk things over and facilitate solutions. Outreach Programs. CPS counselors offer various workshops and presentations to campus groups. Presentations on a wide range of topics are available upon request with a minimum of two-weeks notice. Please call 227-7469 for information. Consultation. CPS counselors are available to consult with staff, faculty and students on a variety of issues. Sometimes faculty members consult a counselor about a student who seems troubled, or students may consult a counselor about a friend. Counselors can also help groups and staff members who are having problems working together or communicating. Emergencies. Counselors are available to respond to psychological emergencies 24 hours a day during the semester. If you are having an emergency during regular hours (weekdays 8 A.M. - 5 P.M.), call 227-7469 or come by. For emergencies after hours and on weekends, call 227-7301 and ask for the counselor on-call. The dispatch operator will ask for your name and number and will have the emergency counselor call you back. Staff. Our staff consists of full-time counselors, psychologists, a social worker and graduate interns and practicum students (under close supervision of the full-time staff). Present senior staff members are: Donna Carpenter, Office Manager; John Ritchie, Ph.D. (Director); Michelle Stefanisko, Ph.D. (Asst. Director); June Wytock, M.A., M.S.N.; Lisa Koralewicz, M.P.H., M.S.W.; and Elizabeth Likis-Werle, L.P.C.

LL College of Business Scholarship and. | Careers in Professional Writing PROFILE: Ron Rash By Luke Butchart | WC Everything Ive written is based within 50 miles of Cullowhee, says writer and WCU professor Ron Rash. I came to WCU in the fall last year to get back into my home country, to get back into the mountains, says Rash. Rash has family roots in the Appalachians as far back as the 1700s. Because of his ties to the land, he knows this area well and uses it for setting for his stories. Ron Rash grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, a small town near Rutherfordton and Shelby. He received his undergraduate degree from Gardner Webb University, where he was first published in the schools literary magazine. Rash received his Masters degree from Clemson University and taught at the University of South Carolina in the MFA program before coming to WCU. My writing comes from an image, says Rash. One Foot in Eden began with an image of a farmer standing in a field. One Foot in Eden is Rashs first novel. It won Forward Magazines Gold Medal for Best Literary Novel of 2002 and the Appalachian Writers Associations Book of the Year. Picador, Rashs publisher, also publishes the work of Fred Chappell, the author of I Am One of You Forever and professor at UNCG. Rash has published three books of poetry and two books of short stories. He also has a new novel, Saints at the River, which will be released later this year. Southern writers have their own presence on paper that is greatly influenced by southern culture, stories and experiences. Rich story telling traditions go hand in hand with language, says Rash, who derives many of the stories he writes from tales he heard from relatives growing up. It is love of language, which is true for all cultures, that gives Appalachian literature its own appeal. One part about being a writer is to know how to deal with rejection, says Rash. It reminds me of a story about F. Scott Fitzgerald. He had one wall in his house that was covered in rejection slips that he collected. Rash has had his own experiences with rejection. Initially some of his work was not accepted his freshman year at Gardner Webb, but he kept writing until he was finally published. Like most aspects of life, to be a successful writer it takes time and diligence. I cant stress enough how important it is for writers to read. Not just creative fiction and non-fiction, but about history, anthropology, and science, says Rash. Eventually as a writer and a reader, and this is true with most people, we find out in ourselves what it means to be human.
