College Health Symposium 2013

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

Welcome to the 2013 College Health Symposium, sponsored by Health & Counseling at SUNY Geneseo on May 21, 2013.  This year the focus is on evidence-based practices in the following areas such as recognizing and responding to students experiencing sexual assault and stalking, current trends in synthetic drug abuse, wound healing, and recognition and recovery for students with eating disorders.

We have arranged a day of fun and educational activities to stimulate your learning.  Join us at the historic BIG TREE INN, located at 46 Main Street, north of the campus (parking is conveniently located behind the building).

During the noon hour, you may enjoy a showcase of best practices in College Health & Counseling and Health Promotion.  Gather ideas to bring back to your facility and network with other college health professionals.
