2007 Research Symposium
April 27, 2007
Golda Meir Library Conference Room - 4th floor,
8:30 am-
Featuring an enlightening and
vital keynote address by
Carol Haertlein Sells, Ph.D., OT, FAOTA on “College Drinking: Its Impact on Campus and
Strategies for Reduction.” Dr. Haertlein Sells’ research focuses on the reduction of alcohol use and its associated harm among college freshmen with the long
term goal of assisting them to make better choices about alcohol use. The “harm reduction” approaches she examines combine informational content with cognitive behavioral skills training and motivational
components. Wisconsin has the highest rate of alcohol use among young adults, but it is
in the bottom 20% of states on perceived risk of high alcohol use. This context for the student body at the University of Wisconsin –
Milwaukee makes this topic of critical importance for our campus. Dr. Haertlein
Sells’ research findings will affect the lives of our students, the well-being of the campus and the surrounding community, and college students across
the country. CHS Research Presentations
Graduate and undergraduate students will present their current research projects to a panel of judges comprised of faculty, administrators, and community health care professionals. The projects are ranked based on
criteria including research methodology, strength of study rationale, implications for the scientific and professional communities, and overall
verbal and visual presentation.
The symposium includes a luncheon. Those interested in attending the
symposium should RSVP by April 13 to Cheri Dziekan Chapman at
