Panelists at the Becoming a Change Agent conference
In Fall semester 2017 I served as an invited panelist at two University-wide events: 1) Dr. Feelgood: The Ethical Dilemma of Opioid Prescriptions on September 13, 2017; and: 2) Becoming a Change Agent: Empowering, Engaging, & Advocating conference on October 23, 2017.
The panel for Dr. Feelgood consisted of 5 local professionals (including myself) who offered remarks and answered audience questions about “Dr. Feelgood: Dealer or Healer” (click to open campus flyer/PDF) — a documentary film about the life of Dr. William Hurwitz, a physician sentenced to 25 years in prison for prescription drug trafficking. In my role I discussed addiction prevention. The other panelists included a physician, a social worker, an addiction counselor, and the president of a local non-profit called Lancaster Country Recovery Alliance. The event was sponsored by the Millersville University School of Social Work’s Learning Institute.
As a panelist for the “Becoming a Change Agent” conference (click to open campus flyer/PDF) I discussed and answered questions about my experiences with Side-by-Side, the name of a program that generates interest for the teaching profession among underrepresented high students. This panel included 5 university community members (including myself). Shown in the photo (for this blog entry) is the University Chief of Police, the Business Operations Manager in Student Affairs and a candidate for magisterial district judge, a student/social justice advocate, and a faculty colleague from another department. The event was sponsored by Center for Civic & Community Engagement (CCERP); along with the MU President’s Commissions on Cultural Diversity, Gender & Sexual Diversity, and Status of Women.
