History of Great Lakes Regional Counseling Psychology Conference

One of the recommendations resulting from the 1987 Third National Counseling Psychology Conference held in Atlanta, Georgia was to encourage yearly, Regional Counseling Psychology Conferences. As a result, the Executive Board of Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) decided that counseling psychology programs located in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio would constitute the Great Lakes Region. In 1988, the first Great Lakes Regional Counseling Psychology Conference was held at The Ohio State University. Since then, as displayed below, a number of institutions have hosted the Conference. It should be noted that the Great Lakes Region is the only Region to have continued to fulfill the recommendation emerging from the Third National Counseling Psychology Conference. Over the years, hundreds of students have greatly benefited from presenting and participating in the Great Lakes Conference.
