Welcome!

The Counseling and Career Development Center at Georgia Southern University is where students can go to participate in programs and receive services designed to help them handle day-to-day challenges and encourage their personal growth and development. We complement the mission of the University by providing the personal assistance that students need in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

The Counseling Center is staffed by doctoral-level psychologists and master's-level counselors who provide services on an individual and group basis at no additional cost to those enrolled as full-time, matriculated students at Georgia Southern.

The Counseling Center is located on Forest Drive between Health Services and the Forest Drive Classroom building. Our normal business hours are Monday - Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We are closed on all official University holidays.

The staff of the Counseling and Career Development Center regrets to announce the unexpected passing of Mr. Keith Arnett, friend and counselor, on Friday, July 17th, 2009.

Keith earned his Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling in 2004 from Argosy University / Georgia School of Professional Psychology in Atlanta, GA, after completing a one-year internship here at the GSU Counseling Center. He officially joined our staff in October of 2004, and quickly became an integral part of the GSU community. Keith was nominated for the VP Citation Award in 2008, and in 2009 he was named the College Counselor of the Year by the Georgia College Counseling Association, representing his years of tireless dedication to assisting the students of Georgia Southern University. In addition, Keith was recently named as the 2009 Honorary S.O.A.R. Leader by the GSU Office of Orientation for his invaluable service to the student orientation process.

However, Keith was not just a counselor and campus leader. He was also a husband to his wife Marlo; a father to his daughters Kayla and Kamryn; a son to his mother Joyce and father Michael; a brother to Christopher; and a friend to many. His passing is a great loss to the campus, his family, and to those students and colleagues whose lives he impacted throughout his career. Please keep them all in your thoughts.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Georgia Southern University Foundation for either the Georgia Southern University Counseling Center or the Georgia Southern University Sexual Assault Response Team.

Students who may be affected by this news are invited to visit the Counseling Center during regular business hours and request to meet with a counselor.
