Flashpoint: School Violence
January 11, 2013
Rose Library, 3rd Floor Flex Space
3:30 – 5 p.m.
Description:
In memory of those who perished and in honor of those who survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, this Flashpoint aims to examine the difficulty of peacebuilding in the aftermath of school violence and to examine preventative approaches in play to deter future violent incidents in our K-12 schools as well as at colleges and universities. An array of panelists who have hands-on experiences dealing with and preventing violence in schools will explore these questions: What are the impacts of violence on our educational systems? How do we heal? And, how do we create safe schools and communities?
