The College of Education and Health Professions initiated a Dean's Seminar on addiction this semester, open to students from any major. Students enrolled in the class will present posters on Thursday, May 4, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the Cordia Harrington Center (CORD), classroom 215. “We want to extend an invitation to the community and to students and faculty from across campus to join us as students share their work and we advance conversations about problematic substance use within our campus community,” said Kara Lasater, an assistant professor of educational leadership who co-teaches the course.

The seminar was created as part of the College of Education and Health Professions’ WE CARE initiative. WE CARE is an acronym for Wellness and Education Commitment to Arkansas Excellence. Each semester, the seminar will focus on a different complex societal challenge at the intersection of education and health.
