The Fall 2018 issue of CoSIDA's quarterly magazine, CoSIDA 360, is currently available in digital and print format. CoSIDA members will be receiving the issue soon at your campus mailing address, so please check your mail!
For this issue's cover story, three brave CoSIDA members tell their personal stories of battling tough times and mental struggles ranging from a near-suicide, to difficulties with pregancies, to living halfway across the country from immediate family due to a new job. With help from these real-life testimonials and expertise from counseling and sport psychologist Megan Harrity, Ph.D., we look at how we can help ourselves navigate life's darkest days, and find compassion and help for those around us battling their own demons.
Also inside, we cover pronoun usage in the LGBTQA+ community, a solution for those frustrated with scheduling phone interviews, opportunities for SIDs on NCAA committees and we spotlight four members who are serving as volunteer first responders in their communities.
Check out all those stories and more:

About CoSIDA 360
The print and digital magazine was one of the new CoSIDA membership initiative undertaken during the 2015-16 academic year which included the January 26, 2016 launch of our
CoSIDAConnect online community; the
CoSIDA mentorship program; new
text messaging service; and
CoSIDA After Hours social program.
CoSIDA 360's aim is to celebrate telling our members' stories, to educate our members, and to advocate for the profession and its professionals. The print magazine is mailed to every current CoSIDA member and also distributed to athletic directors, conference commissioners and external CoSIDA stakeholders. A new issue of the glossy stock magazine is released each February, May, August and November.
