Nationally recognized alcohol awareness speaker, Jim Matthews, to present at Wayne State University on February 23

 NCAA sanctioned speaker, Jim Matthews, will present his popular Beer, Booze, Books: a Sober Look at Higher Education in Wayne State's Bernath Auditorium in the Undergraduate Library at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 23.

Matthews has delivered this presentation about social responsibility to over 190,000 students at 190 college campuses nationwide. He has appeared on ABC-TV, WOR-TV, CNN, NBC Radio and New Hampshire Public Radio and has been featured in numerous magazine and newspaper articles. "This dynamic non-judgmental approach to confronting high risk alcohol consumption on the college campus encourages students to critically examine the role alcohol is playing in their lives. This presentation - a campus favorite - provides clear, accurate and applicable information and is effectively enhanced by computer generated, multi-media graphics and video. Beer, Booze & Books also supports campus social norms programs by reducing the misperception of student drinking patterns." (www.beerboozebooks.com)
