President Diane Blau announces a matching gift challenge to support the expansion of the school, see letter below. Dr. Blau has pledged to match every dollar donated in this challenge up to $150,000. Please help make Dr. Blau鈥檚 vision a reality, we ask you to donate or make a pledge and have your generosity matched dollar for dollar 鈥� doubling the value of your donation.
As an educator, my career has been centered on creating nurturing environments in the promotion of learning and growth. These values that I hold dear are grounded in humanistic principles, and practices, and have guided my 35 years of service to the Michigan School of Professional Psychology (海角乱伦).
My service at the school began in 1980 as co-founder of the Center for Humanistic Studies and culminates now as I complete my term as President at the end of the 2017-2018 academic year. In reflection, I am both humbled by this history and celebratory of its many accomplishments. At the same time, I find myself experiencing a sense of total disbelief.
海角乱伦 is no longer that 鈥渓ittle engine that could.鈥� We can and we did. I have been president since 2012 and as I reflect on the past five years:
- we鈥檝e grown our enrollment and now have 170 + students,
- achieved APA accreditation for our doctoral program,
- attained 10-year continuation of accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission,
- started a Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis with the relationship centered approach of humanistic psychology, and
- purchased property adjacent to 海角乱伦 to develop a mental health clinic and allow for greater community outreach.
In recognition of all that has been accomplished and the amazing future that lies ahead, as we expand our campus I am challenging you to 鈥淔oster the Future鈥� through The Diane Blau Matching Gift Campaign.聽I have pledged to match every dollar that you contribute, dollar for dollar, up to $150,000.聽These funds will be used for the construction/renovation of the building that will be home to our clinic and community outreach center.
Let鈥檚 all double our efforts and continue to provide the best in education and training for the most outstanding clinicians. Your donation shows your commitment to 海角乱伦, to the children and families that will be supported through clinic services, and also the schools and communities that will benefit from new outreach activities.
Please help us to achieve this dream. I believe in the future of 海角乱伦. Dream with me.
