PROGRAM INFORMATION AND DETAILS
SPEAKERS:
DR. PAUL HARRIS
Dr. Paul Harris comes to us from the University of Virginia, where he was associate
professor in the Counselor Education program and a faculty affiliate with the
Center for Race and Public Education in the South. He earned his B.S.Ed. in Health
& Physical Education with a concentration in Sports Medicine and his M.Ed. in
School Counseling from the University of Virginia. He completed his Ph.D. in
counselor education from the University of Maryland, where the
program's emphasis was on promoting systemic equity, access, and justice in schools through counseling. He
also holds a master of divinity degree from Virginia Union University.
Dr. Harris' research draws from his previous experiences as a high school counselor and focuses on three areas: 1)
Investigating the college and career readiness needs and promise of underserved students; 2) Analyzing the
identity development process of Black male student-athletes, and specifically the role of school counselors in
facilitating their multidimensional sense of self through group counseling, mobile learning, partnerships with other
education stakeholders, and other mechanisms; and 3) Examining the pre-and in-service school counselor training
to ensure the implementation of comprehensive school counseling programs in K-12 schools that promote equity,
access, and justice.
He is the creator of Men Passionately Pursuing Purpose (MP3), a program that exists to see Black male athletes
thrive in and out of sport. His work has been funded by numerous agencies, including the NCAA. Harris designed
courses that focus on counseling all student athletes from a strengths-based perspective, with one of those
courses centering on the Black student athlete experience, specifically.
He currently serves on the editorial review board for the Professional School Counseling Journal and on the Senior
Advisory Board for The Professional Counselor journal. He also is the former president of the Virginia School
Counselor Association and former member of the board of directors for the American School Counselor
Association.

Note: You do not need a Zoom account to participate in Zoom meetings hosted by VSBA.

ETIQUETTE TIPS:
Prior to the meeting:
Dress to impress: It’s easy to give in to the temptation to wear sweatpants and an old t-shirt because you’re working from home. Dress for your
video conference the way you would for an in-person meeting.
During your meeting:
Mute your microphone when necessary: Zoom has a “Mute Microphone” option that cuts down on ambient feedback for the audience.
Use Zoom’s chat function: You can send a question or statement to everyone or privately to a VSBA staff member.
Think about your actions on camera: Always remember that everyone can see you. Someone is watching as you take a big, wide-mouth yawn,
stretch, or wander around the room. These exaggerated movements are distracting to the audience and can be disruptive to the speaker. Try to
stay still and be attentive!
