Background

About Dan Ratliff

I am Professor and Chair of the Department of Counseling and Human Services at St. Mary's University. In that capacity, I have served as Project Director for a grant-funded program to provide trauma-informed mental health services for deployed military and their families. I developed one of the first graduate-level courses on trauma-informed counseling for military service members and their families. Prior to becoming Chair of the Department, I was Director of Quality Improvement for the University with a focus on teaching writing pedagogy to university instructors. I was a Fulbright Scholar to Romania in 2010, teaching ethics, program evaluation, and counseling techniques; while there I provided English writing consultation to doctoral students, faculty and corporate technical writers. I have published scholarly articles in international professional literature, written grants, and collaborated on others’ research writing.
