In a landmark event at the Liberty Station Conference Center, the Point Loma Nazarene University's Masters in Clinical Counseling (MACC) program held its annual practicum fair, showcasing an unparalleled level of participation from both students and community partners. This year, the fair saw its largest training cohort yet, with approximately 60 ambitious students engaging with representatives from 27 diverse community partners.
This event serves as a cornerstone for MACC students, providing them with the unique opportunity to secure a year-long clinical training placement that not only allows them to serve the community but also propels them closer to their professional aspirations of becoming Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors and Marriage and Family Therapists.
This year's practicum fair not only signifies the growth and success of the MACC program but also reaffirms PLNU's commitment to fostering professional development and community service. It embodies a symbiotic relationship where students gain critical hands-on experience while contributing meaningfully to the well-being of the community. As these aspiring counselors and therapists step into their roles in various settings, they carry with them the knowledge, skills, and compassion needed to make a significant impact in the lives of those they serve.
