Who should attend?
This will be a great learning opportunity for college students and professionals, whether you are working in prevention, residence life, Greek life, student activities, or another discipline.Geared toward the college population, this conference offers program presentations and workshops for student peer educators as well as prevention and student affairs professionals. We will host a special workshop for prevention professionals and student affairs professionals as well as special sessions for law enforcement.
Why should I attend?
Prevention on college campuses is not an easy task! Any opportunity to learn new techniques and strategies and network with other students and professionals is an opportunity not to be missed. We also realize that limited budgets make it difficult for many to attend some of the larger, national conferences, so we want to bring some of the national speakers to you in a more affordable format! Thanks to underwriting by the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, we can offer you a dynamic, informational, and highly affordable conference.
