Many people, particularly college students, experience high levels of stress without knowing how to properly deal with it. The panel will feature a variety of expert Fredonia faculty and staff who will share knowledge in their areas of expertise relating to the topic.
Assistant Professor Nicholas J. Quintyne of the Department of Biology will discuss dealing with stress on a molecular level. Interim Director of Counseling Tracy L. Stenger will not only discuss how to help unmanaged stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, but also how some milder forms of stress can actually be beneficial. Veterans Affairs Coordinator Mark Mackey will discuss the stereotypes of Veteran Students and effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dr. Catherine Creeley, an assistant professor of biopsychology in the Department of Psychology at Fredonia, will share her knowledge about the science of stress and its importance in understanding how to stay healthy.
The lecture, followed by a question and answer session, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Dr. Natalie Gerber at gerber@fredonia.edu or 716-673-3125.
