This past academic year, 2001-2002, has been the eighth consecutive year that the PPSC/NC has conducted classes since our initial Advanced Curriculum class held its first meeting in September 1993. We are proud to report that, this past year, we operated both a one-year Introductory Course class and the second year of the Advanced Curriculum class. This was our seventh Introductory Course taught by Harold Kudler, MD and William S. Meyer, LCSW. There were eleven students in the class this year and, as usual, they represented a variety of academic backgrounds and orientations. There were three UNC-School of Social Work second year graduate students-Don Arnold, Anne Coleman, and Ashley McCormick. Ms. McCormick was the recipient of the $1500.00 Carroll Heins Scholarship. Also in the class was a lawyer-Jay Osborne; clinical social workers Helen Clarke, Natalie Peacock and Donna Stanley; Master's Degree Counselors-Jean Marie Burnett and Kurt Stellwagen; a massage therapist-Amy Ferlazzo; and Trish Johnson, who has been accepted into the Smith College School of Social Work for the Fall 2002 class.
In May our fourth Advanced Curriculum class students completed their two years of coursework. They are Eva Ferrell, MA. ED. (LPC), Natalie Hawkins, MS (Marital and Family Therapist), Carolyn Lee, LCSW, Clare Mundell, Ph.D. and Dale Sheffield, Ph.D. We are proud to report that Clare Mundell and Dale Sheffield have already been accepted into the fall class in the Psychoanalytic Institute, as has one of our former Advanced Curriculum students, John Tisdale. We are also very proud to report that Sandra Bennett became the sixth graduate of the Advanced Class this past Fall 2001. In the Fall both our current and former students had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a case conference presentation with Nancy Kulish, Ph.D.
Changes in our Steering Committee occurred late last spring with the resignation of Erwin Smarr, MD and the addition of Kathleen Irwin, LCSW. Ema Willingham graciously redid the PPSC/NC brochure which is now available and will be displayed at the American Psychiatric Association's Conference in May in New York City. Rebecca Goz is now the coordinator for both our Theory and Techniques classes in the AC.
The PPSC/NC continues to receive applications for both classes for the Fall, 2002-Spring, 2003 academic year.
