The conference began in 1981, under the direction of Dr. Fred E. Woodall, a previous and highly admired professor.
“Each year we are so overjoyed by the amount of attendees that come to our conference to network and share their expertise in the mental health field,” said organizer Chaley Brunetti. “The counseling and psychology department are grateful to Fred Woodall who started this conference back in 1981. We hope to continue his legacy and provide quality continuing education for many more years to come.”
