The mission of university and college counseling centers is to "assist students to define and accomplish personal, academic, and career goals by providing developmental, preventive, and remedial counseling (CAS, 1999, p. 67). Traditionally, the emphasis has been on developmental and preventive counseling. However, the role and functionof college counseling centers continues to evolve and change in response to a variety of social, political, and economic factors (CAS,1999); and to the momentous changes in the demographics of today'college student population, perhaps the greatest change in higher education in recent years (Levine & Cureton, 1998a). Today's college students are increasingly diverse: 30% are minorities, 20% are foreignborn or first generation, 55% are female, and 44% of all undergraduates are over the age of 25 (Choy, 2002).
