CALDWELL COLLEGE OBTAINS NCAA SPEAKER'S GRANT
9-19-06
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 Sunday, Oct. 1, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. in
the school’s Academic Lecture Hall, 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. In October 2006,
his stand-up will air on XM Satellite radio.
“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 fourth consecutive
year the NCAA has awarded the grant to Caldwell College, an NCAA
Division II institution.
