Congratulations to Dr. Daniel Cox, Associate Professor in ECPS, for his appointment as the Myrne B. Nevison Professor in Counselling Psychology for a five-year term (February 1, 2019 to January 31, 2024). The Professorship supports applied research in counselling psychology to advance preventive approaches in counselling for marginalized and at‐risk youth. Dr. Cox will build on his work using process-outcome research to develop a comprehensive understanding of online crisis counselling for at-risk youth.
The Professorship was created in memory of Dr. Myrne Burdett Nevison, professor and later head of the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology. Dr. Nevison’s work reflected keen understanding that the aim of counselling services and counsellor education programs is to address educational, social, career, and psychological needs of individuals and groups that have an impact on the broader community.
