Thursday evening, January 10th, and Friday, January 11th, the University Counseling Center will host the Second Annual Terrell Conference for Mental Health Practitioners in the Student Union. The Conference was planned earlier this summer in order to honor Tom Terrell, Former Director for the University Counseling Center for his work with the Campus of Southeastern Louisiana University as well as the Louisiana Professional Counseling Association. He was instrumental in developing Louisiana Licensure Law for the State of Louisiana and is listed as the #2 Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Louisiana.Tom Terrell was also paramount in establishing our University Counseling Center IACS Accreditation (International Association of Counseling Services).

“The UCC saw a need to establish stronger roots with our mental health community partners, especially after last year’s flood. We feel like the time is right to establish a professional networking opportunity for our students and our community partners” stated Annette Baldwin, MA, LPC, LMFT
