It that fails, try to appeal directly to a senior campus official pointing out that these programs are public service oriented and would of great value to the community at large as well as the local campus. Many other local community hospitals also have a satellite downlink for the continuing education benefit of their staffs. Contact their education department. Unfortunately, none of these programs offer CME or CEU credits at this time, but many of these programs should be of interest to hospital substance abuse counselors. The California Distance Learning Health Network has several hundred downlinks within its state network for example.
Many cities do.
Some state Departments of Health or Alcohol and Tobacco or Health and Human Services also operate these dishes. Chambers in larger communities often have their own dish. If not, they usually know where most of the dishes are located in the community. One caution here, they may try to refer you to hotels or convention centers who usually will want to charge you. You may be able to appeal to the local manager for free use because these are public service, non-commercial programs.
