Our Students

The heart of any counselor education program is not the curriculum, but its people. The Counseling Programs at James Madison University are privileged to have active, talented, and dedicated students who have lots of heart. They help make this a vibrant, thriving, and diverse learning community that is constantly changing, growing and evolving. We offer you here both pictures and words to give you a sampling of our students and the energy that they bring to their training. Pictures listed below are for the School Counseling Program.
