| "Discovering and cultivating innate talents, facilitating personal empowerment, and identifying hidden opportunities are foci that have guided my work and will serve as the basis of what I hope to contribute to JFKU as it assumes a leadership position in the education and training of future leaders." |
WELCOME and on behalf of my esteemed colleagues in the
Graduate School of Professional Psychology at John F. Kennedy University I want to extend to you our warmest and sincerest greetings. Please know that your preference to receive your professional education and training from us is a decision we are prepared to support and embrace to the fullest extent possible. We are excited that you are here and it is our honor and privilege to have you join us in this collaborative venture.
Our faculty is among the best and the brightest and you will be challenged by them to critically examine the person-in-environment complexities of human development within the context of a world that has become increasingly multicultural. Also, you will be invited by them to push yourself to discover the research, scholarship, clinical service, consultation and social advocacy talents we believe you already possess. Further, you will learn and train with peers whose desire to pursue truth is as important as their resolve to make the world a better place in which to live. Opportunities abound to be mentored, supervised and to give back to the people whose lives you will touch in important ways by the services you will provide to them.
We look forward to joining you on this journey and promise to do all we can to help you to assume your role in the local and global community as a leader whose integrity and moral and social consciousness is well developed.
William D. Parham, Ph.D., ABPP
