 Welcome to the spring edition of the CCAPS newsletter. We hope that your spring semesters are coming to a close in peaceful and rewarding ways. The Atlanta convention proved to be a great opportunity for connecting with colleagues after what has proved to be an especially challenging year for counseling centers. This newsletter contains a recap of some convention highlights for those of you who were not able to attend in part or whole, as well as some announcements about future CCAPS involvements. At the ACPA convention, our commission’s leadership changed hands. Thank you to Jonathan Kandell, past CCAPS chair, for your years of service to the commission. In her introductory Letter from the Chair, Chanda Corbett communicates her intention for a seamless transition and her directional goals for the development of the commission, as well as her desire to be inclusive of all CCAPS members for opportunities of service. In the theme of inclusivity, please review the Committee Announcements to find member opportunities for involvement in CCAPS through committee work. Another wonderful prospect is represented in Heidi Levine’s announcement and invitation, “Publishing with ACPA Books and Media.” This entry describes opportunities for book and electronic publications and webinar presentations by CCAPS members. Also, please show your involvement in CCAPS by nominating one of your deserving colleagues for one of the CCAPS awards. See our “Call for CCAPS Awards Nominations” piece for details. As a follow-up to the ACPA Convention, please see the CCAPS Awards Recipient piece to learn more about the 2008 awards winners. Congratulations to Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, John B. Bishop, and Early Career Achievement Award recipient, Jessica Walker! Also, check out the ACPA Convention Round Table Summaries to get a flavor of the lively discussions that occurred this year. The authors for this edition’s featured articles were invited to summarize informative and engaging presentations at this year’s convention. Ryan Akers does an amazing job at reducing his dissertation results and describing the current state of University/College Crisis Response in “Evolution of emergency operations strategies: Structure and process of crisis response in college student affairs.” Jessica Walker and Jocelyn Buhain also provide enlightening tips about supervision of Counseling Center clinical staff in ways that improve retention in “Application of Synergistic Supervision for Counseling Center Professionals.” As has been expressed so many times, thank you to David Gilles-Thomas for formatting and updating this newsletter for so many to see! To you all, have a wonderful, rejuvenating summer!
