RASHEED ALI
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY
PSYCHOLOGICAL & QUANTITATIVE FOUNDATIONS
When
the Counseling Psychology faculty brought up the idea of joining
them as a faculty member after I completed my two-year postdoctoral
fellowship, I jumped at the opportunity. The University of
Iowa's Counseling Psychology program is one of the best in
the nation and the faculty is both top-notch, as well as,
accessible and down to earth. I would extend these comments
to the entire College of Education. It is an honor to be able
to continue to be part of this College.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
REHABILITATION COUNSELING
COUNSELING, REHABILITATION & STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
"In
addition to the prestige of the University and the national
reputation of the Rehabilitation Counseling program-ranked
3rd in the nation, my primary reason for choosing Iowa was
the Institute on Ethics being developed by Professor Vilia
Tarvydas and my affiliation with the Center for Law, Health
Policy, and Disability. Other factors that influenced my decision
are the caliber of faculty in the Department of Counseling,
Rehabilitation and Student Development; the friendly, creative,
and supportive atmosphere; and Dean Damico's interest in staying
on the cutting edge of the profession."
