McPherson states that “counseling used to be about the top and the bottom; that’s
only about 30 percent of students. The other 70 percent is what most of us are. So
you can’t just be about numbers. Real education is about people, not numbers.” In
February Randy will return to DC to present the School Counselor of the Year award
to the 2012 recipient.
Randy earned his B S in Education Physical Education ’81, Master of Science Counseling
Personnel Services ’84, Doctor of Education Higher Education ’94, is a past adjunct
faculty member and is an active member of the College of Education Alumni Chapter.
