The Peer Health Advisors’ mission across Lehigh’s campus is to implement health education including alcohol, sexual and mental health, bystander intervention, and other public health initiatives through various interactions with their peers campus-wide each semester.
Peer Health’s “Calling the Shots” presentation gauges student understanding of alcohol and alcohol-related effects. Recent surveys show 41.3% of Lehigh students categorized themselves as high-risk drinkers (they indicated that they've had five or more drinks in a sitting during the two weeks prior to being surveyed), 27.3% would be "moderate drinkers" (i.e., they didn't engage in high-risk drinking but also did not indicate that they do not drink at all). 31.5% would be "abstainers" or "non-drinkers" (i.e., they indicated that they do not drink alcohol). This presentation informs students who may choose to drink to use strategic adaptability to navigate situations where alcohol is involved. This also applies to students who may not choose to drink, as they are thrust into a changing environment and will need to adapt and communicate to others their personal choice, while also building upon their ability and skill as a bystander.
Students will have the education piece with opportunities to engage throughout the entirety of the 5x10, are encouraged to ask questions, and will leave with increased knowledge to think critically in situations where alcohol is involved to help implement positive behavior, preventative, and protective strategies across their campus community.
“Self-Taught Artists and the National Identity” with Katherine Jentleson, PhD
Thursday, September 12, 5:30-6:30 PM
Black Box Theater, Zoellner Arts Center
Public Reception to Follow, 6:30-8:00 PM
LUAG Main & Lower Galleries, Zoellner Arts Center
LUAG is proud to host the traveling exhibition, Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe, curated by Katherine Jentleson PhD., the Merrie and Dan Boone Curator of Folk and Self-Taught Art at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. In her discussion, Katherine will present Rowe’s practice in the context of developments that shaped the United States’ social climate, both nationally and locally, during a lifetime that spanned most of the twentieth century. These include the influence of the US civil rights movement of the 1960s, the rise of the Feminist movement, the disruptions of predatory urban expansion and Black removal, all consciously referenced and transmuted into the endogenous spiritual home ground of her art.
