About Us 

The Spokane Falls Community College Counseling Department is comprised of a dynamic group of eleven Faculty Counselors, both tenured and annualized, and several adjuncts who serve as academic advisors within the Student Affairs division and report to the Dean of Students. The Counseling Department is committed to inclusivity and strives for equity and enhancement of the diversity of the campus community and practices. As a department, Faculty Counselors function as generalists, which requires a strong understanding of all SFCC academic programs as well as transfer partner offerings. Faculty Counselors provide academic advising to students in one-on-one meetings or group sessions while utilizing collaboration within the department and the college to develop strategies for student success. Faculty Counselors may serve in key roles in the six Guided Pathways. They may also work with students attending SFCC’s Pullman Campus at Washington State University and with Running Start students, a program that provides opportunities for high school juniors and seniors to earn college credit while in high school. Faculty Counselors may also teach for-credit, college level courses and serve on district and college committees that focus on a range of educational topics.
