For example, Shannon Sprague is now joining the group and is seeking a roommate. Anyone need a roommate? If not, I can inquire with other groups attending to find a roommate. This has worked out fine in the past.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I stay with someone I know who lives in NYC?
ANSWER: Of course, but you need to be able able to travel independently and either meet us at the Leo House each morning, or at the destination of the morning class.
2. Can I stay at a hotel instead of the Leo House?
ANSWER: I highly discourage this because it makes the trip and week much easier if we all stay together. The Leo House is a very affordable and definitely adds to the experience of the trip. Talk to previous classmates who have attended for their recommendations (they may chime in on this blog).
3. Have more questions? Post them in the comments here so everyone can view the answer.
New question: Can I bring family members along?
ANSWER: Yes, that is fine. They will not be able to attend the class events (except for a couple which we can negotiate) unless they pay the institute fee ($380), but they can join us for meals, the broadway show, and other things. It's a VERY BUSY week and there isn't much time or energy for site seeing after a long day of class (and sometimes a long evening too).
Plan to come the weekend before or stay the weekend after if you want to build in extra site seeing.

2014 Multicultural Counseling in NYC
It's time to begin planning your for your enrollment in the Multicultural Counseling course that meets in NYC, July 14th-18th. There will also be a half-day class session at PSU, date TBD.
WHAT: New York City-Based Cultural Immersion Course
This year, the COURSE IS OPEN TO ALL COUNSELING TRACKS, however the speakers are definitely oriented toward school counseling, so you will need to be flexible if you are are not a school counseling student. Last year we included a few clinical mental health and rehabilitation counseling students (from across the universities who attend) and they were able to transfer their learning to their specific counseling environment. For this reason, I am opening the class up to all counseling tracks at PSU.
Current students who complete this course can apply to waive COUN 581, Multicultural Counseling, after completing the summer course.
WHEN: July 14-18th, 2013.
PSU Registration becomes available when Summer Session 2013 registration opens. Registration TO NYIT (via Tina) is due 5/1/14.
Hotel reservations are available after 1/15/14.
Statement of Intent to Register by 1/15/14 via online form (required pdx email): <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14vraDUhncsXIGeRyQ707sWvZJ8DXi9Rxzj3ZlOB2in0/viewform?embedded=true" width="760" height="500" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>
HOW MUCH:
1. Fees include: 3 Graduate Credits at PSU at regular per credit rate.
2. 5 day Summer Institute fee of approximately $380 (Due 4/1/13, includes museum and cultural center fees;
3. Reasonable hotel accommodations at The Leo House (this year you make your own reservation after 1/15/14 to guarantee room, $80 per night per person for shared room, paid at time of reservation, see link at end of this post). Unless you are staying with friends or family, The Leo House is where you should plan to stay. It's clean, in a great location, safe, and super convenient. I can't imagine you'll find a better deal near this location.
4. *Airfare additional, on your own. Start booking after class in confirmed on 1/15, flights will go up the closer to summer we get. You must arrive on Sunday, 7/13/14 and you can depart after 5pm on Friday, 7/18/14. You can come early or stay longer, it's up to you. The Leo House will allow this.
5. Meals are on your own, but we try to find cheap options everywhere we go.
6. Broadway show optional ($50 or so, depending on what show we choose. This will be due in June before we leave).
WHY: Immerse yourself in multicultural history and cultural through a counseling lens. If you are open to this experience, you will walk away with 1) a better understanding of your own biases and beliefs about your cultural identity and 2) a foundation for working with students and clients from diverse backgrounds.
We also have a GREAT time together and eat some amazing food! Check out the pictures that follow on this blog from last year's trip.
