Substance Use, Abuse: Laura Pegram '99

Substance Use, Abuse: Engagement and Awareness for Faculty and Staff. 

Faculty and Staff will have an opportunity to have an informal 90 minute workshop with Laura Pegram on community health, drug use and policy and she will hold a Q&A for faculty and staff as we all navigate campus and community issues on drug use and abuse. Next week Laura will hold a session for students before she leaves Great Barrington to continue her powerful community and drug advocacy work in North Carolina.
