Loveridge's Winding Path to International School Counseling
Mar. 28, 2025
Lorelei Loveridge ‘26G is completing her M.Ed through Lehigh’s International School Counseling program from Kuwait, where she is hoping to open her own private practice in the future to guide students on their future career paths. Loveridge has lived in Canada to the Middle East and pursued writing, music and taught English for 11 years at the Al-Taif International School in Saudi Arabia. She’s recorded two studio albums and has written an unpublished memoir. Having an extensive history of international travel and teaching, Loveridge found Lehigh's program to be the easiest pathway forward to maintain her international presence while earning a degree.
The M.Ed. International School Counseling program is designed for students living outside the United States who work at international schools with students from different countries, including the United States. Students are able to take classes in a hybrid format to maintain their presence internationally. The 57-year-old says one of the most rewarding parts of the graduate program is the relationship she has formed with her supervisor and mentor, a Lehigh graduate and the M.S. counselor. This relationship has enabled her to understand her role as a counselor through a multicultural lens.
