In June 2006, the Loyola College in Maryland's Pastoral Counseling program began its partnership with faculty at the Unviersidad de Alberto Hurtado, the Jesuit University in Santiago, Chile. Dr. Christine Gorigotia-Wittenberg, a recent graduate from Psy.D program of Loyola College and Fr. Kevin Gillespie, S.J., associate professor of Pastoral Counseling were the first to go to Chile and teach several pastoral counseling classes.
In subsequent semesters the following Loyola faculty have also been called upon to teach in Chile: Sharon Cheston, Beverly Eanes, Geraldine Fialkowski, Daniel LaSure-Bryant and Nichole Murray-Swank. The first of its kind in Latin America, this pastoral program will offer courses in psychology and spirituality that will enable its graduate students to receive the same concentration and integration of counseling and spirituality that students at Loyola have received the past thirty years. The program was extended into 2009-2010.
