Monday, May 13 | 5-6pm | GTU Library front patio
GTU Librarian Colyn Wohlmut’s band the Hangtown Fry will be playing live music for us on the patio! Be sure to mark your calendars for this fun-filled evening event.
The Hangtown Fry are Kevin Brownell, Vern McElroy, and Colyn Wohlmut. They play a new style of music: “citygrass”. It’s a “loud on the inside” blend of country, soul, bluegrass, rock, funk, blues, love, loss, friendship, joy, longing, beer, whiskey, weed, and a little bit of prayer thrown in for good measure.
This family-friendly event is open to all – bring your friends and celebrate the beginning of summer with us!

CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) Short-Term Therapy CAPS continues to offer short-term therapy. The basic steps to getting started in CAPS are outlined below, and the CAPS website has more detailed information on short-term therapy services:
- First Step: Phone consultation. Students can call 408-554-4501 to schedule a phone consultation, which takes 15-25 minutes. During this call, CAPS staff assess if the therapeutic support a student is seeking fits within the short-term therapy model at CAPS. Collaboratively, the therapist and student will determine next steps.
- If short-term therapy is recommended, a CAPS therapist will then reach out to the student to schedule a 50 minute intake appointment via the SCU Health Portal.
- If referral to an off-campus therapist or services is recommended, an appointment with the Cowell Center Clinical Case Manager will be offered to support the referral process.
*Reminder: There are no limits on the number of therapy sessions and no fees at CAPS, but services are designed to be short-term.
