Softball players cited for involvement in campus event

Backert and Foster, both senior psychology majors at Charleston Southern, were two key planners and organizers of the event. The event invited CSU students to participate in free screening for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. More than 120 students participated and 49 students chose to have on-the-spot interviews with a professional counselor.

"These hard-working young women rose to the challenge and were instrumental in the success we experienced," said Robert E. Ratliff, Assistant Dean for Counseling and Disability Services at CSU. "I believe co-sponsored events that transcend departmental boundaries help foster increased understanding and cooperation among students, faculty and staff."
