Dear Colleague,

My name is Shifa Hussain. I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Counselor Education at the University of Florida. You may remember me from the April, 2007 issue of ACA’s Counseling Today that featured the article Muslim “Teens Leading Double Lives” for which I was interviewed. As a high school counselor for over 8 years, I have worked in a variety of roles and with diverse populations, including Muslim students and parents. My dissertation research is entitled, “Acculturation issues of Muslim high school students in the United States.” It involves American Muslim highschool-age students responding to an online and survey about acculturation issues they may be facing. It should take the students approximately 10 minutes to respond.
