Dr. Janice Holden, 2019 UNT Foundation Eminent Faculty Award Winner

Janice Holden was awarded UNT’s Eminent Faculty Award. Dr. Holden’s research focuses on counseling implications of near-death experiences, after-death communication and other transpersonal experiences - those that transcend the usual personal limits of space, time and/or identity.
Holden, professor of counseling and higher education, has published more than 90 publications and presented more than 100 national and international presentations since joining the University of North Texas faculty in 1988. She served as lead editor of the 2009 Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation and co-authored the textbook Theoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy. She has served for 10-years as editor-in-chief of the International Association for Near-Death Studies’ peer-reviewed Journal of Near-Death Studies. For her career-long research on and advocacy for people who have had transpersonal experiences, Dr. Holden earned the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling Association’s 2015 Gilbert and Kathleen Wrenn Award for a Humanitarian and Caring Person.

She is truly so incredibly generous - this sounds so cliche, but I've never met anyone so available to her students and to people around the globe. I don't know how she does it! She says she is a workaholic - perhaps true - but many people are workaholics. The difference with Jan is how caring she is; she is so present with students - and yes- she taught me (in the 90s!- whew!) how to be present with clients. The thing she has mastered so well is combining an enormous workload with this awe inspiring sense of calm. I am so grateful to her! Thank you so much for posting this. She shines like a light in the darkness - she really does!
