Seminar Presenter

Dr Joel H Muro, Ph.D.; L.P.C.,

Asst Professor of Counseling & Development

Texas Woman’s University, Denton, Texas, U.S.A.

Dr Muro is a truly dedicated teacher and researcher in the field of Counseling and Teaching. He is also a winner of many Awards “Outstanding Mentor “Emerging Leader” and 4 times Winner of “Outstanding Professor”.

When asked how he did it, even with the youths’ situation today :

“I believe, above all else, that I will not be able to elicit a change in any person without the establishment of a relationship. I cannot teach a class until the students feel safe with me, and know that I will treat everyone of them with respect and dignity. I love to laugh, I love to listen, and I love to learn from my students. In order to be effective, I want to meet my students where they are and try to work with their beliefs and values. I open my teaching up -- I lecture, but I elicit comments from those who are in class as well.

I would like for people to know me as one who respects them and LISTENS to them. I hope to make a difference in people's lives by being an advocate for respect and dignity of all people -- be they 6 or 96. I want to be seen and upon my death, remembered as a great teacher, one who made the literature and concepts come alive in the classroom as well as in my life.”

For Whom
