Robert H. Irvin, Jr. The result of my initial formal undergraduate education led to a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Loyola (Marymount) University, Los Angeles. After which, I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer TEFL Teacher for two years in Chad, Central Africa. As a RPCV, I worked as an area recruiter in southern California. This led me to graduate study at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, where I earned an Masters in Public Health, in International Public Health, which included Fieldwork for the Alaska Area Native Health Service, in Anchorage, Bethel, and Kotzebue, Alaska. While in Honolulu, I completed a graduate assistantship College of Tropical Agriculture serving as the Peace Corps strategy recruiter for the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. I also completed a predoctoral internship in cross cultural counselor education and psychology, supported by the Culture Learning Institute, at the East-West Center. I have provided volunteer training services to Peace Corps Liberia as Assistant Training Director/Health and Training Director. My formal education continued at the University of Oregon, where I earned a doctorate (PhD) in Counseling Psychology. My area of special interest focused on cross cultural counselor education, college counseling, and peer counselor development programs. I have professional and intern experience in the areas higher education, specifically, counseling, clinical, and student services administration at Learning Skills Specialist/Summer College Coordinator at USC, Counseling Services Director/AAP at UCLA, Psychologist Intern, at UCSD, and Director, Student Services and Assistant Professor at Charles R Drew University of Medicine, College of Allied Health. I received an inaugural appointment, 1996, as the first Subregional Programming and Training Coordinator, U.S. Peace Corps, East Africa and the Indian Ocean, where I provided consultant based project support in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Madagascar. As Director of Education, with Sylvan Learning Inc., I was part of contract reading specialist project with the Los Angeles Unified School District that was administered in school reading centers. As a Secondary Counselor at John C. Fremont high school, Los Angeles Unified School District, I was integrally involved with a wide range of support services to students, teachers, and administrators.

My services as an Adjunct Assistant Professor, Psychology and Developmental Communication, with the Los Angeles Community College District, has afforded me a fundamental understating of the needs of nontraditional students and their goals of vocational training, and transfer objectives to four-year institutions.
