Quarterly Alumni Association Presentation Events

Four continuing education presentations are scheduled throughout the year for alumni to attend as professional development opportunities. Join other alumni to network with colleagues in the field, learn more about specific topics related to addiction and mental health counseling, earn continuing education credits, and participate in engaging conversations. 

Presenters

Graduate School alumni serve as presenters for presentation events.

Topics

Presentation topics vary, and are chosen by alumni presenters. Topics relate to research or personal interests in specific areas of addiction and mental health counseling.

Location

Events are held in the auditorium at Hazelden Betty Ford in St. Paul.
