Doctoral students present advocacy workshop

Counselor Education doctoral students Eirin Grimes & Johnna Nunez

   How would advocacy be different -- for the advocates and the causes they wish to advance -- if a different approach to the work were taken?

   Counselor education graduate students Johnna Nunez (right, doctoral candidate) and Eirin Grimes (left, first-year doctoral student) offered an alternative during a workshop titled "Mindfulness in Advocacy: The Buddha Way" during the 2009 UW Teaching Creativity conference.

   Eirin discusses the workshop's goals here. Johnna describes a personal experience advocating for social change using this approach here.
