Kathleen Maloney IMMACULATE’S NEW DEAN OF COUNSELING AND SPECIAL STUDENT SERVICES
T
he Counseling Department at Immaculate focuses on student academic planning, college guidance, scholarships, grants and student well-being. Our counselors begin to know their students freshman year and work with the same students for their four years at Immaculate. Our comparatively low student-counselor ratio average of 95:1 provides greater opportunities for students to receive the individual services that they need to be successful as an Immaculate student and beyond. “As counselors, we have the opportunity to get to know the whole student, their interests and passions; part of our role is to help them to discover and nurture those gifts and help them find the path that leads them to their true purpose,” said Kathleen Maloney, who was recently appointed the Dean of Counseling and Special Student -Services, a new administrator position designed to provide enhanced educational, intervention, mental health and specialized student college placement services.
