β¦ Synopsis
The City University of New York (CUNY) has offered counseling for educationally and economically disadvantaged students at its 10 senior colleges since 1968 through the Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK) Program. Recently, however, funding for SEEK counseling was reduced, resulting in a dramatic increase in the counselorβclient ratio. The University's solution to the increased ratio was to provide the SEEK Programs throughout CUNY with graduate assistants (GAs). The challenge then was to develop methods of training graduate assistants and using the assistants in ways that best served SEEK students.
