Marking our 40th anniversary has inspired all of us to consider what Naropa has done for our lives, our creative work, and our relationships. We invite you to join us in this contemplation and consider giving back to Naropa.
Naropa's long-term sustainability depends on the support of alumni and donors. Giving each year to Naropa's Annual Fund, supporting student scholarships, academic programs, and new initiatives, is an excellent way to demonstrate your commitment to Naropa's legacy and future.
Please know that your gift, regardless of size, has a direct impact on current students and Naropa's future. Make your gift today!

Introducing GSP's new Credentialing Coordinator!
Alumni Relations would like to introduce Claire Chang, MA '14, as the new Credentialing Coordinator for Graduate School of Psychology students and alumni. The Credentialing Coordinator serves to support the personal and professional development of GSP students and alumni through assisting with processes related to transitioning into the professional field of counseling. Claire offers individualized support in the form of guidance, assistance, and advocacy (such as official documentation) concerning counselor licensure and other credentials in the US and internationally.
Claire moved from Australia where she worked in mental health education, training, and research, to attend Naropa's Contemplative Counseling Psychology Program which she graduated from this May. She is excited to enter into this new role, as she is passionate about supporting the education and training of mental health professionals.
Claire invites all GSP alumni in need of credentialing assistance to contact her through e-mail cchang@naropa.edu (most efficient), or by phone 303-245-4722.
