North Dakota State University

Counseling Center Director

Hi, my name is Bill Burns and I am the Director of the Counseling Center at NDSU. I am a licensed psychologist in North Dakota. I started work at NDSU in July 2007 and I am very happy to be a part of the Counseling Center and of the NDSU community.

Prior to coming to NDSU, I was the Director of Counseling Services at St. Lawrence University, a private school in upstate New York. I received a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota- Morris, a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Truman State University, and a Ph.D in Counseling Psychology from Iowa State University.

Personally, I have two grown daughters and I love to spend my free time reading and participating in marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons. I am a native of Minnesota and it is great to be back in the Midwest. I look forward to helping NDSU students work toward achieving their life goals.
