The annual student reception is a chance for student to meet professionals in the field, learn about benefits of membership in HAMFT, and network with other students, professionals and potential supervisors.
Alumni as well as students pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy or counseling from schools such as UHCL, OLLU, University of St. Thomas, Capella University, Sam Houston State University, Theological Seminary, etc. are all invited.
Cost: FREE. This will be a cocktail type reception with buffet items and vegetarian options. Drinks will be available for purchase.
Here’s what former student and current HAMFT board member Sam Caplan had to say about her first student reception:
“When I was a new student, attending the New Student Reception gave me the opportunity to network with students who were above me in the program and professionals in the field. It was an extremely beneficial experience that led to me receiving the Warm Hearth Scholarship to present a poster at the 2013 TAMFT Conference. When I attended a board meeting to thank HAMFT for the scholarship, I was asked to join the board while I was still a student. I met my current supervisor and employer through HAMFT, and I received my job offer at the 2014 HAMFT Banquet.I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had, and I look forward to continuing my involvement in HAMFT.”
