Toby Ackerman, 2004 graduate of the Professional School Counseling Program within the Department of Counseling and Student Personnel, was awarded the 2004 Future School Counselor Award by the Minnesota School Counselor Association at its annual conference held at Madden's Resort. The organization, after reviewing nominees from around the state, gives the award to only one graduate student based on the strength of recommendations from faculty and colleagues. A $500 stipend toward graduate expenses accompanied the award.
"Toby is an excellent example of the caliber of graduates which come from the MSU program," noted Walter Roberts, Jr., professor of counselor education within the Counseling and Student Personnel Department. "He not only represents our program well, he is a role model for all counselors throughout the Midwest." See full article...
