Description:
Graduate students are often treated as powerless, used and manipulated to serve faculty egos. In Counselor Education, this is a reality that we must address. We need to share power with students and advocate for their input in meeting their educational needs, including confronting abusive colleagues. Let's talk about what this process of student empowerment looks like!

Learning Objectives:
Discuss the power dynamics in faculty-student relationships in higher education in general and Counselor Education specifically.
Raise awareness of the damage done to students through "educational wounds".
Discuss strategies for empowering students and confronting abusive pedagogical and programmatic systems in Counselor Ed.
