2009 AODA Symposium
In the Know: Trends in AODA Education & Prevention
September 29 & 30, 2009
Ramada Inn, Steven Point, WI
Since the first AODA Symposium in 1998, this biennial conference has addressed prevention of alcohol abuse by university students. This year's Symposium, as in previous years, is both content rich and highly interactive, and will be especially focused on the evaluation of AODA policy and current AODA prevention best practices. The conference is designed for teams composed of 5-7 people from UW System institutions, Wisconsin Technical College System institutions, or Wisconsin private colleges. If you are interested in attending, please contact your campus AODA coordinator.
The 2009 Symposium will have concurrent sessions covering a wide range of topics, a panel of your colleagues talking about best practices in behavioral intervention teams, an update on the AODA survey results, and the following high powered speakers:
