| JOSE COLL joined the clinical faculty of the USC School of Social Work in 2008 as director of the Military Social Work and Veteran Services program. As a Marine Corps veteran who served with 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, Dr. Coll is acutely aware of the needs and struggles faced by military personnel and their families, making him a strong advocate and contributor to a curriculum that emphasizes the challenges faced by those in the armed forces.
His research interests are predominately on worldview development and its relationship to cognitive development and cognitive complexities; underage college substance abuse; and counseling practices with veterans. Prior to coming to USC, Dr. Coll was the social work department chair at Saint Leo University, where he developed and guided a faculty research team to Cuba in 2007 and participated in several trips to Honduras that promoted student development and cultural and economic awareness. He was the principal investigator for the Pasco Project Prodigy, a cultural arts program designed to reduce recidivism among inner-city children, funded by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. Dr. Coll also has worked as a clinical social worker with adolescents and families in outpatient facilities and as a behavioral specialist in a public high school, serving children with autism, who are severely emotionally disturbed and mentally handicapped. He has authored numerous publications, including two recent books entitled, A Counseling Primer to Counseling Veterans and A Developmental Guide to Research: A Student Faculty Handbook. Dr. Coll received his doctorate in counseling education and supervision, and was the recipient of the University of South Florida Latino Doctoral Fellowship and the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education Graduate Fellowship. |
