The application window for Campus Representative positions is now available. We hope you take full advantage of the many perks of becoming a Campus Representative at your respective institutions across Indiana. Campus Representatives will be given a variety of resources and, it is our goal, to have at least one graduate student from each campus appointed to these positions. For additional context about the Indiana Counseling Association, Campus Representative responsibilities, and Campus Representative commitment information, please continue reading.
The Indiana Counseling Association (ICA) is dedicated to working alongside counseling graduate students and counseling programs in Indiana to address concerns facing counselors-in-training and newly licensed professionals.
A shared objective between Campus Representatives and ICA Board members is to advocate for the needs/concerns of graduate students more effectively; communicate opportunities for continuing education, networking, and advocacy efforts; and gain additional knowledge into the changing landscape of counseling at a State and National level.
Responsibilities of the University Graduate Student (Campus) Representative:
- Each Campus Representative will attend a monthly leadership call to further enhance their leadership skills and provide updates about their Campus Representative experience.
- Each Campus Representative will communicate continuing education, networking, and advocacy opportunities with their counseling department and professors.

Additional Perks of Becoming a University Graduate Student (Campus) Representative:
- Each Campus Representative will have access to the ICA’s mentorship program. Students involved in this program will have the opportunity to network, ask questions, and develop counseling core competencies from monthly mentorship calls with professional counselors in the field. (*Additional information about the mentorship program will be provided to students throughout Fall and Spring semester).
- Each Campus Representative will be given access to a OneDrive folder. Peer reviewed journal articles and e-texts for important counseling topics such as therapeutic alliance, cultural humility, therapeutic ruptures, microskills, and evidence-based treatments/interventions for working with patients with a variety of comorbid presenting concerns will be included.
- Each Campus Representative will be invited to an end-of-year dinner (date and location to be determined) where campus reps will be able to enjoy a meal and receive awards for their service to the ICA. Awards may include certificates, money, and gift cards, among other items.
