Long enrollment lines detained students up to two-and-a-half hours Wednesday, in spite of a projected decline in enrollment this semester, said Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions and records.

The seminar theme, "Multicultural awareness for counseling in public schools," was attended by
60 students in the master's program in guidance and counseling in the College of Education. Dr. Steven Pratt, assistant professor of oral communication; Patricia Fennell, from the Oklahoma State Department of Health; Wendolyn Maxwell, from Oklahoma Christian College; and Dr. Champa Ranebeneur, a Bethany clinical psychologist, were the seminar speakers. More than 200 CSU students are currently enrolled in the counseling master's program, Johnson said.
