Over the course of his career, Phil Clinton has helped students in times of peace and the throes of war. This first article was originally published following the first Gulf War in the fall of 1991. The commentary following the article was written as part of a retrospective article published in the Journal of College Counseling (Winter 2012).

Phil was also instrumental in the creation of the Overseas Association for College Admission Counseling (OACAC):
".......While the European counselors were instrumental in the creation of this organization, it was clear that the counselors in Asia, Africa and South America had similar issues. Membership began to grow. The presidency of the organization was passed on to Mary Anne Sullivan of The International School of Brussels who initiated the first summer meeting held around the table at The George Washington University in Washington DC in the summer of 1994 at the end of the ECIS counselor tour........Phil Clinton was instrumental in getting the regional association to become a participant in the national association activities, especially the leadership council and the legislative meeting in Washington and this has continued. OACAC had delegates who attended the legislative assemblies and initiated many motions to encourage the awareness of members of the organization to the difference and needs of our students."
