Conference Presentations

Creating Alcohol-Free Events to Foster a Healthy Campus Environment (Program ID: 372)

Building/Room: Baltimore Convention Center - 319
Date/Time: Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

While many campuses provide alcohol-free options to deter students from high-risk drinking, prevention practitioners appear divided on the efficacy of this approach. This presentation aims to strengthen campus efforts by disseminating best practices for designing alcohol-free activities, with findings from a meta-analysis of research examining the impact of alcohol-free options on student high-risk drinking and case studies from successful campuses using this approach. The program will also examine common challenges and ways to overcome them. Presented by Helen Stubbs.

Spare Time and Its Impact on Academic and Social Success (Program ID: 372)

Building/Room: Baltimore Convention Center - 345 
Date/Time: Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Previous investigations have indicated that students who spend more time studying are more likely to achieve academic, social, and professional success. Recent years have seen a dramatic decline in study time for college freshmen, but this does not wholly explain widespread decreases in student success. This discussion will attempt to identify other activities that students are participating in that have the most significant impact on their academic and social success and general wellness. Presented by Todd Wyatt.
