Jane Jones MA, CASAC, NCACII

I first came to Colgate in 1988 as a student intern to complete an internship requirement for a Master’s program in counseling psychology at Chapman College. After fulfilling the internship requirement, I continued part-time here while continuing to work as a clinical director of an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in a county based program. Gradually I realized I enjoyed working with students more than I did dealing with HMOs and state mandates. Eight years ago I moved from part-time to full-time, never regretting that choice.

As Colgate's substance abuse counselor I am continually learning from my contacts with students. Although I’m not a prohibitionist, I am deeply concerned about individuals whose use of alcohol and other drugs isolates them from fully experiencing college. The work I do also includes helping students with relationship issues, family-of-origin issues, and personal growth and developmental issues.

Home is 12 miles south of here in Sherburne. My husband Bob is great dealing with the work demands of my schedule. Our son, Brian, is in a MD/PhD program at Dartmouth. One dog and two cats finishes up the family.
