Meet the Counseling Faculty
	Dana Thompson I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a bachelor’s degree in hearing and speech sciences, and from California State University, Fullerton with a master’s degree in counseling. I have worked at various levels of education from elementary through community college. I began my career at Cal-State Fullerton in the Department of Communications, followed by several years with Universal Technical Institute as both a counselor and director of student services in Glendale Heights and Rancho Cucamonga, CA, respectively. As a counselor at William Rainey Harper College, I chaired the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Advocacy Team, and I co-advised the Indian Pakistani Student Association and Harper Fusion, a multicultural group. I currently teach Education 1105, Career Development, and Education 1115, College Survival Skills. I am also a member of C.O.D.’s LGBT Advocacy Team. I am a funny, outgoing, person who loves working with students of all ages and all backgrounds. You will find I have a lot of energy. My main passion is working with LGBT students and students of color to make sure they have a successful college experience, both academically and socially. When a student works with me, I want them to feel that they have not only a direction, but also partner in their education — that they are not alone. I like to make sure students always have someone to come back to. [back to alphabetical list of counselors]
