[Counselor_Educ] Thanks to the Alpha Chapter of CSI for Participating in the NAMI Walks United Day of Hope

[Bhat, Christine]

It was lovely to see the Alpha Chapter of CSI's presence at the NAMI walk on this beautiful fall day. Thanks to the CSI leadership for your involvement and support of this important community event!

Several current students participated, and it was great to see alumni there as well. Students I engaged with were Emmanuel, Julie, Allana, Sahaj, Andrew, Tessa - I may have missed some!

Alumni - Dr. Stephanie Maccombs Hunter was there with her sweet baby! And Caitlin Kraus sang I'll be your mirror and gave a speech about community and kindness. BTW Caitlin performs regularly in Athens, so make sure you support her! Caitlin and Stephanie are both at CPS. There was quite a few from CPS at the event as well.

Our involvement in our community are important and needed!

Enjoy this gorgeous fall weather!
