CALDWELL COLLEGE OBTAINS NCAA SPEAKER'S GRANT
10-10-07
CALDWELL, N.J.
- Caldwell College’s Executive Director of Athletics, Mark A.
Corino, has announced that the school has obtained a Speaker’s
Grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for
the purpose of a drug education-wellness program.
The program, which will be held on Monday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. in
the school’s Alumnae Theater, will focus specifically on “How to Get
High, Naturally.” Matt Bellace, Ph.D., M.S., has been a
motivational speaker and comedian for over ten years. Dr. Bellace
has a Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology from Drexel University, is a
member of the National Speakers Association and a regular at comedy
clubs in New York City. His "How to Get High, Naturally" program has
encouraged students across the nation to pursue natural highs and
make healthy choices. He was featured twice in the New York Times.
“Obviously, this is a topic of tremendous concern and one that
constantly needs focus,” Corino said. “Information is one of our
most precious assets, and the communication between our school’s
administration and our student-athletes is also crucial. We feel
this will be an important program.”
Caldwell’s Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Women’s
Administrator, Linda Cimino, along with Sandy Rock,
Caldwell’s Director of Substance Awareness Counseling, were
instrumental, along with Corino, in obtaining the grant. This year’s
program marks the fifth consecutive year the NCAA has awarded the
grant to Caldwell College, an NCAA Division II institution. |
