Chris Herren
Chris Herren, former NCAA and NBA basketball player and star of the ESPN 30 for 30 Movie “Unguarded,” makes his return to Chautauqua County when he appears at a free event to talk about his latest film project, "The First Day,” Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. in McEwen Hall Room 209.
Since 2009, Herren has spoken to over one million students, athletes and community members, sparking honest discussions on the topics of substance use disorder and wellness. A person in long-term recovery, Chris continues to share his story nationally with a renewed focus on prevention education and challenging audiences to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction – changing the focus from the last day to the first.
