Connections between alcohol abuse and campus violence will be explored by several national authorities during a teleconference being presented by Washington State University and transmitted by satellite to campuses and communities throughout the country. These issues impact nearly all segments of a community or educational institution, and we're hoping to hear from representatives of those segments who hold ideas about solving them. Two of the featured presenters on the panel program will be Richard Keeling, health services director at the University of Wisconsin, and Alan Lizotte, executive director of the Consortium for Higher Education Campus Crime Research at the State University of New York at Albany. These individuals are widely respected for their research into the causes and effects of alcohol abuse and crime and their work on solutions, Thielbahr said. Colo. Student leaders and community officials from both studio sites on the WSU and Wisconsin campuses will take part in the discussions.
Questions can be phone or faxed from locations receiving the satellite feed.
Co-sponsoring the program with WSU is the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators.
