March 17, 2023
In November 2022, Rockhurst University etched a new chapter in its history, inaugurated its first lay, first female president, Sandra Cassady, Ph.D. In honor of Women’s History Month, we asked Cassady about her experience as a female leader and history maker in her own right.

NBA Player Speaks to CSD Students on the Importance of Client-Clinician Bond
March 3, 2022
From an outsider’s perspective, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist probably appeared to have it all. Even as a talented basketball player with a loving family and good group of friends growing up in New Jersey, he said he felt isolated for so much of his young life, in fear of being heard.
