P A G E 5 V O L U M E 7 , I S S U E 2

Dear Students:

As many of you know I was the recipient of the New Jersey Association of School Psychologists of the Year award. This is a won-derful award and I am very hon-ored to receive such a distinction. I am even more touched that many of the students at Seton Hall were behind me being nominated. I have had such a great experience being a school psychologist and wouldn't trade a moment of it for any-thing. School Psychology has been very good to me. Many people

search their entire lives to find a profession that they love. I have been blessed to find school psy-chology as my profession. My fa-ther had said to me when I was much younger, "If you find a job that makes you happy, you'll never work a day in your life." Those words have stuck with me over the years. I feel that school psychology is not a job but a vocation and something I am grateful for being part of over the past twenty-four years. I hope that all of you share the same passion and love for the

profession that I have experi-enced. We need good school psy-chologists working in our schools. You are our future!

Thank you for your endorsement of this prestigious award.

Sincerely,

Dr. Massarelli

which is relieving individuals who are dying, from suffering. Corso did a wonderful job in giving an over-view of Hospice and the end of life services they provide.

Corso presented an overview of spirituality, crisis, companionship, suffering, personal narratives and making meaning from it, interven-tions, bereavement care, and the

grieving process. Through personal stories and comics, he was able to use humor while discussing matters that are very serious. We thank Corso for a great job presenting to students, staff, and other profes-sionals here at Seton Hall Universi-ty.

On Tuesday, March 20, 2012, Rev. Vince Corso, M.Div., LCSW-R, CT, presented at Seton Hall University on psychosocial care at the end of life. He is a manager at Hospice Psychosocial Services and specializ-es in providing psychosocial ser-vices to patients who are terminally ill. Hospice is an organization that holds a philosophy of palliative care,

SPLASH

The School Psychology Leadership Association of Seton Hall (SPLASH) represents the inter-ests of graduate school psychology students engaged in the enhancement of Seton Hall

Program. The mission of SPLASH is to height-en the awareness of and advocate for issues relevant to the professional field of school psy-chology. Members of SPLASH intend to ac-complish this through building a strong net-work of colleagues, remaining informed about current issues that affect our profession and encouraging others to enter the school psy-chology profession. It is our goal as future school psychologists to become competent, socially conscious and reflective professional leaders who advocate for the needs of a di-verse society of students, families and commu-

nities (2005).
