Professor Emerita Janine Bernard will receive the Legacy Award and Nicole Hill, professor and chair of the CHS Department, will be given the Outstanding Mentor Award. Doctoral students Jamie Castillo and Michele Lopez will receive the Emerging Leaders Award. Castillo is also the recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Student Leadership Award.

“These awards help shine a light on the outstanding work that our faculty members and doctoral students are doing,” says Joanna Masingila, dean of the School of Education. “I’m very proud of our counseling and human services department and applaud them for these wonderful accolades.”

Bernard’s exceptional commitment and service to the profession, both nationally and internationally, along with her numerous publications, led to her award. Bernard’s research has resulted in lasting change and has paved the way for counselor educators and supervisors for nearly 40 years. Bernard’s co-authored book, “Fundamentals of Clinical Supervision,” now in its fifth edition, is the most used text in supervision in counselor education programs. In addition, Bernard’s work in clinical supervision and her theories and models on supervisor training are revered and used by many in the field. Professor Bernard is an active site visitor for the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP), serves as president of the North Atlantic Region of ACES, and served on the National Board for Certified Councilors (NBCC).

Along with the faculty awards, Castillo and Lopez will be recognized for their accomplishments and dedication to the profession and students by receiving Emerging Leader Awards. Castillo, also the recipient of the Outstanding Student Leadership Award, has extensive co-teaching and supervising experiences. Castillo promotes a learning environment with students that encourages participation, shared learning and cooperative engagement.
