Counselor Education Doctoral Students Organization

The Counselor Education Doctoral Student Organization (CEDSO) is the student association specifically for doctoral students in counselor education at UCF. Formed in 2008, the mission of the CEDSO is to promote the development of counselor education doctoral students in the areas of scholarship, teaching, and service through mentoring and collaboration opportunities.  The mentoring initiative began in 2011, with second and third year students volunteering as mentors for incoming first years.  CEDSO also applies to the SGA for funding to assist members in attending the ACES or SACES conference every fall.  Member collaboration is facilitated through semester meetings and social functions.  Additionally, CEDSO has recently launched a new Facebook page that can assist in answering questions for new and current students, including conference deadlines and member contact information.
