We are saying goodbye to a research faculty member this year, C.R. Macchi. After
completing his doctorate degree in 2006, C.R. began working with the home-based
family therapy training contract through the state of Kansas. In addition to leading this
effort, C.R. also taught in the MFT program and the School of FSHS as well as provided
supervision for our students. After nine years at K-State, C.R. has taken a faculty position
in the doctor of behavioral health program at Arizona State University. As part of his
responsibilities, C.R. is teaching courses on ethics and clinical theories and will serve as
the internship coordinator overseeing student placements. The students are required to
complete a 400-hour internship working on integrated health care teams as behavioral
health providers in primary care, clinics and hospitals. Scottsdale is where he and his
wife, Marti, were planning to retire and this position is such a great fit for his interests.
We wish C.R. and his family well and look forward to seeing him at conferences and
visits back to Kansas. C.R.’s email is crmacchi@asu.edu if you would like to contact him.
