The system’s global engagement efforts also link its colleges and universities to more than 20 international academic partners. Dr. Horowitz is past president of the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology, a former trustee of North Central University, and has previous affiliations with various accreditation and regulation bodies. He holds a B.A. in Psychology from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Northwestern University.
