Interested in Becoming a VR Counselor for the Deaf?

Letter from Julia Smith...

As you are aware, there is a dire shortage of people trained to be rehabilitation counselors for the deaf. We receive job announcements weekly for these positions. They often go unfilled or are filled with people who must receive training on the job.
 
You are receiving this letter because you work in a state that has an agreement with Western Oregon University for students to receive in-state tuition rates when they enter WOU's Rehabilitation Counseling: Deafness master's program. In addition, we have stipends through an RSA grant to help cover the tuition.
 
We are recruiting students for the 2006-2007 academic year. Please help us spread the word. Qualified applicants must have completed their undergraduate degree and be fluent in ASL.   The states that receive the special cut-rate tuition are: AK, AZ, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, UT, WA and WY. Information about the program can be found at www.woud.edu/rrcd and click on "Rehabilitation Counseling: Deafness Option", or by contacting Dr. Julia Smith at smithj@wou.edu, 503-838-8744, or 140.211.118.105 (videophone).
