Liberal Arts Undergraduate Council (LAUC) President Geoff Halberstadt joins our Liberal Arts Voices podcast for episode seventeen.
In this episode, Associate Dean Long and Geoff continue the discussion started in their recent blog post “Opening a Dialogue on Drinking.” In this post Dean Long and Geoff asked students, faculty, and staff to begin talking about some of the main issues concerning drinking at Penn State.
Dean Long and Geoff talk about some of the comments and ideas that were generated in their first blog post. They discuss a variety of topics including: Penn State’s de-licensing of products like shot glasses; policies that might be appropriate in response to dangerous drinking; and how Penn State and the State College community can begin to approach this subject. Dean Long and Geoff will be writing another blog post next week continuing this conversation, so keep an eye out for it!
Geoff also updates listeners on LAUC’s programs and initiatives for this year. LAUC and the College of the Liberal Arts are co-sponsoring an internship panel tonight, Tuesday, November 9 at 6 p.m. in 103 Career Services Building. LAUC will also be hosting more events in the spring including a “Speed Dating Event” with Liberal Arts Majors. Students should check the LAUS Announcement blog in the spring for more details on upcoming events.
Lastly, Dean Long shares information about his key note speech he will be giving at the Media Commons Tailgate this Saturday, November 13th at 10 a.m. You can find out more details about this event on the Media Commons Tailgate 2010 wikispace.
