SCOPE SPRING WEBINAR SERIES
In response to our member survey, we have identified four day-to-day challenges faced by prevention educators and convened the best and brightest experts in the field to troubleshoot, strategize and share their successes.
April 19th from 12:00-1:30pm EST
Prevention Funding Opportunities
David Lee of PreventConnect and the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault will speak about opportunities to leverage resources from local communities, such as local Rape Prevention & Education grantees, to strengthen campus efforts to address and prevent sexual violence, domestic violence and dating violence.
Increasing Participation in Prevention Efforts
Thursday, March 29th
12:00-1:30pm EST
For
all the good work we do to develop content for our prevention efforts
at schools and colleges, our ability to deliver our messages in the
right way to the right audiences with the right dosage still poses a
challenge. In this webinar, two practitioners from the field will
share ideas on successful participation and engagement that help to
deliver your powerful prevention messages for the maximum impact on
attitudes and behaviors. Michelle N. Issadore spent five years
developing and delivering prevention content at Lehigh University
before becoming Executive Director of SCOPE. Brett A. Sokolow has
presented programs and helped to design strategic programming
initiatives on more than 2,000 campuses, and has many ideas to share on
what works based on his travels, campus experiences and critiques of
one-shot programming and other ineffective prevention efforts. Both
presenters have deep experience with what works, and will share great
ideas with you in this webinar on their lessons learned.

Dr. Adam Goldstein
Associate Dean of Students, The Florida State University
Dr. Adam Goldstein is an Associate Dean of Students at The Florida State University where he supervises the Offices of Student Rights and Responsibilities, Greek Life and Withdrawal Services and provides support for students and families experiencing personal, medical and mental health crises. He serves as chairperson of FSU’s Veterans Center Advisory Board (http://veterans.fsu.edu), is a University Hearing Officer and a frequent Instructor of the Ethics and Values Clarification Seminar for students sanctioned under the student conduct code. Dr. Goldstein’s professional interests include campus life risk-reduction, hazing prevention and response and learning assessment in student conduct administration. He has spoken, presented and taught at conferences and symposiums, colleges and universities around the country.
When the State of Florida passed the country's toughest hazing law in 2005, Dr. Goldstein formed a campus-coalition to review and improve FSU’s hazing prevention, education and response efforts. The coalition created http://hazing.fsu.edu, FSU's central location for hazing information, education and reporting. The web site promotes a positive message about the values of the community, features ‘students talking to students’ about hazing in the community’s highest-risk populations (i.e., fraternities/sororities, athletes, sport clubs, performing arts) and an on-line reporting function that has allowed for a quicker and more coordinated response. In 2010, Florida State University received $10,000 and the first Innovation in Campus Hazing Prevention and Education Award offered by Zeta Tau Alpha and http://HazingPrevention.org.
