Promoting Interns!                
                

HGI celebrated our 2002-2003 interns at an end-of-the-year dinner, May 21st. Cathy King, Tori Prophet, Mike Murray, and Jeff Rice finished their internships the end of May. We are so proud of their contributions this year, and of the wonderful projects and paths they will continue on. We wish Tori good luck as she starts a doctoral program at Sam Houston State University. She and Jeff will affiliate with HGI on CPS Steps to Success Groups and another project, in process. Cathy and Mike will advance to SCA positions at HGI, doing clinical work and other projects.

New interns and SCA's will be joining the HGI community this summer. New Masters' level interns are Wendy Huang from U of H- Clear Lake and Jennifer Weatherly of OLLU who start in June. Doctoral intern, Amy Tuttle of Loma Linda University, starts in August. Jacquelyn Johnson, a bachelor's student in psychology, will be doing a special internship this summer to see how a clinic works.

We are happy to welcome all of these new learners!
                

Vision Wall Captures Ideas
                                

Our ideas for the future of HGI are emerging all over a new vision wall, as our community explores our dreams for the next five years. Graffiti, art, symbols, text, dialogue, and textures are some of the expressions that will allow us to create and envision possibilities. Coming soon: pictures of this process!
