Outreach and Education
Here is information about the Outreach Conference for Counseling Centers
CAPS provides outreach services and psychoeducational workshops for students. Please view our groups and workshops pdf to learn more about some of the available psychoeducational workshops. Some of the topics covered include time management, stress management, and test anxiety. Feel free to attend any one of the drop-in meetings; registration is not required. If you advertise the workshops to your student groups, and expect a number of students to attend, please let us know how many students to expect, so that we may allocate an appropriate room, and have a sufficient number of handouts.
CAPS accepts requests from instructors, advisors, student organizations, sororities/fraternities, or other student groups for specific workshops or discussion of psycho-educational topics. During the academic year we receive a high number of requests. Therefore, please contact us AT LEAST 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT DATE. If it is not possible to meet your request due to time or other constraints or if your request may be better filled by another office, we will help you identify alternative options. If you would like to request a workshop or discussion on a particular topic of interest, please complete and submit the online outreach request form.
If you have difficulty accessing our outreach request form, or have any follow-up questions, please feel free to contact our office by phoning 764-8312.

Campus Crises
Unfortunately, campus communities sometimes face untimely deaths, illnesses, or national/international events that may affect the lives of some or many of our students. CAPS has been and will continue to be called upon to provide professional, caring, psychological and emotional support to students when needed. Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you/your community during such times by contacting the CAPS Counselor on Duty at 764-8312.
If you are a student facing a personal crisis, you may ask to speak with the CAPS Counselor on Duty at 764-8312, Monday through Friday 8-5.
