The Marriage and Family Therapy Club was formed to function as
a clearing house for information and as a resource center for students
and alumni of the MFT program. A primary goal of the club is to increase
the collaborative network between students, alumni, faculty, and professionals
in the field. Shared involvement around important issues in marriage
and family therapy provides the basis from which individuals and groups
are encouraged to develop mutually beneficial professional networks.
These shared interests include legislative issues involving marriage
and family therapists, seminars, and workshops offered by influential
contributors within the field, publication of articles in professional
journals by students, alumni and faculty, development of collaborative
field projects and a general exchange of ideas and discussion of topics
relevant to marriage and family therapists.
On
the 1994AAMFT Conference:
What
an experience! It was such a success for me that I came
back 15 feet taller and I was fortunate enough to receive
money for registration from the MFT Club. At the conference,
I met other students in the field, or related fields,
from all around the country and I was able to compare
and contrast what we are learning here at Hofstra in relation
to other schools. Our program is excellent! We can rest
assured that at Hofstra we are given a sturdy theoretical
foundation accompanied by extensive client contact hours
which prepares us even further for when we go out into
the real world. I was boggled by the fact that our educational
foundation at Hofstra has catapulted all of of us further
ahead than a great deal of professional people that I
met at the conference.
