Call for Graduate Student Representative (GSR) for the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES)
Each region of ACES has been asked to put forth one nominee for consideration to serve on the ACES Governing Council as a GSR who represents the voice of student members of ACES. This is a great opportunity for an early-stage doctoral student (first or second year) to get involved and contribute to ACES through service as the GSR. Please read the following description of the graduate criteria for the appointment, the criteria for selection, and the process for submission of an application.
Graduate Criteria for Appointment
The Graduate Student Representative (GSR) is a 3-year service position; designee, current, and past. The student nominee should be in the early stages of their counselor education doctoral program (first or second year) in order to be appointed to this position. A graduate student serving as a GSR must hold doctoral student/doctoral candidate status for at least 2 years of their service and only the final year could be served as a new faculty member or supervisor. Those who are chosen as the ACES GSR will be expected to attend the ACES Governing Council meetings held each summer, meetings at ACES National Conference, and the ACA Conference. All travel is reimbursed by ACES.
