Amethyst Initiative panel, debate
Press Release
Issue date: 2/9/09 Section: News
Initiative 3: HIST391 Documenting Social Activism - two groups of three students are producing documentaries centered on the issues of underage drinking. One group will focus on Clarkson University's efforts to educate the community about the Amethyst Initiative. The other group will focus primarily on the multiple impacts of clandestine alcohol consumption by under-age students. Additionally, in conjunction with students from COMM427 Digital Video Production, the history class will produce a live multi-camera video production of the debate and panel discussion. The program created will air on WCKN, cable channel 30, and be available as a streaming video file on the net.
Initiative 4: March 11 Student-Led Debate and Panel Discussion
Alcohol abuse, problem drinking among young people, and drunk driving are part of a national crisis that cuts across demographic lines. However, colleges and universities are often a flashpoint for these issues, and alcohol presents a nearly universal challenge for the higher education community. However there are others who are impacted but rarely get invited into the conversation. The 45 minute debate is expected to pose the pros and cons of the Amethyst Initiative.
A panel discussion will follow the debate and request questions from the audience. There are a number of constituents who are impacted by the discussion and decisions but rarely get invited into the conversation. An invitation has been extended, and in some cases accepted, but are not limited to Jody Wenzel (owner of McDuff's), Nicole Duvé (St. Lawrence County District Attorney), John Kaplan (Chief of Police), Chip Morris (SUNY Potsdam Director of the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards), an international student from Australia, and a member of the Potsdam High School administration. OASAS will identify someone to participate.
The goal of this open-to-the-public event is to move beyond unsupported claims, emotional accusations and misleading science.
