Bruce Nelson, director of counseling services
Bruce is looking forward to becoming involved in campus life at Elon, and he sees a multitude of opportunities in his new position as director of counseling services. "The opportunity to work with students and colleagues in a stimulating environment is very exciting for me," he says.

A graduate of the University of Washington, Bruce also holds master's degrees from Appalachian State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Bruce has a diverse counseling background in North Carolina, having worked at John Umstead Hospital, the Department of Family Medicine at UNC, Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health and United Family Services in Charlotte. The prevention of violence in academic settings is one of his key research interests.

Bruce and his wife, Lauren, have a four-year-old daughter, Lyn. He is an avid outdoorsman who has climbed Mt. Ranier and biked the entire Blue Ridge Parkway. A member of the Durham Tennis League, Bruce says trying to improve his tennis game is among his favorite hobbies, along with landscaping.
