MORROW, Ga—A grant from the Association of American Colleges and Universities is benefitting Clayton State University’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) program.

“CAPS is honored to have been selected as one of the 26 universities to be awarded this grant.  The seminar grant provided by Bringing Theory to Practice will enable us to develop and carry out programs that will positively impact the long-term well-being of our students,” says Dr. Christine Smith, Director of CAPS. 

The $1,000 grant is from the Association’s “Bringing Theory to Practice”, and it will be used to host a seminar for students.
