Thank You:
I wanted to thank everyone who could join us through zoom on Thursday, Sept 17, for our Opening Social. Those of us in attendance learned from each other's shared experiences. It was an uplifting experience as Jessica Barbazoa left each of us feeling more grounded and hopeful about the struggles that many of us are dealing with in response to the global pandemic. For those who could not join us live, you can access the zoom recording here on the MFTSA blog

Opening for Council Position: VP of Marketing
We have one opening for a council position, VP of Marketing. The VP of Marketing creates digital flyers for each activity three weeks before the event and delegates to other council members how/where to advertise. The VP of Marketing works with the VP of Technology to ensure distribution to proper entities. Priority consideration will be given to those that can commit to more than one semester. This position requires someone who has experience with graphic design and programs like Adobe Photoshop. A successful candidate should be: detailed-oriented, works well on a deadline, and is skilled at collaborative work. Additional expectations include attending monthly planning meetings, participation in monthly MFTSA activities, making announcements in classrooms, and other outreach activities as needed. Grad schools like to see extracurricular and leadership involvement like this on graduate school applications! We work hard to keep our council positive, collaborative, and communicative. If you are interested in applying for the position, please respond to this email and indicate interest. We will communicate further details to those interested.

MFTSA President
Welcome Back, Aggies!
Since we last met, we acknowledge that many of us have encountered daily challenges as we learn to navigate living through a global pandemic. Some of us may have lost jobs, relationships, or opportunities as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, being isolated from family and friends, health concerns, and the uncertainty that colors our everyday existence can be emotionally exhausting. With this in mind, our opening social this coming Thursday will discuss complex grief, known as ambiguous loss. Jessica Barboza, an expert in grief and one of our MFT Ph.D. students, will be our presenter. We would encourage you to join us for an insightful and uplifting activity.
