Mr. Drew Farrell has served as the Student Assistance Counselor at Rice since the fall of 2011.  
He has served two other public schools in this role prior to Rice.  Mr. Farrell also teaches social issues in Rice’s Freshman Foundations program.  He has experience as an outpatient therapist both in the community health setting and in private practice.  Drew has served as a college instructor for psychology and substance abuse classes both in the traditional classroom and online.  He is constantly amazed by the power of the human spirit to make change for the better.  He considers it an honor to work alongside people while they share their innermost thoughts and fears and to share their triumphs and tragedies on their life's journey.  One of his favorite parts of working with adolescents is that they often can laugh at themselves.  He believes in truly enjoying life whether at work or anywhere else.
