The Anxiety Puzzle: An Introduction to the Neurobiology of Anxiety - 4:30-6:30 pm
Anxiety disorders are among the most common presenting concerns across every corner of the helping profession, yet we lack common language and understanding for what's happening in the brain when anxiety takes hold. This presentation will offer insight into the neurobiological foundation of anxiety designed explicitly for interprofessional audiences, bridging the conceptual gaps that too often keep disciplines working in parallel rather than in concert.
Hazing Prevention Workshop - 6-8 pm
Join the Greek Council as they host the Hazing Prevention Network on campus to lead an impactful workshop on preventing hazing. This workshop is open to all students and will interactively engage participants in applying real-time hazing research about the predictors and outcomes of hazing to their campus experiences. You will work together to understand and identify the campus specific motivators for individual, organizational, and community participation in hazing.
