In response to the growing acts of violence by students in their schools, Penn State’s College of Education collaborated with four area school districts and Continuing Education’s Conferences and Institutes to create a local discussion on the issues. The free program was part of the national satellite teleconference on Kids, Guns, Violence: How to Make a Difference.
Dr. Deborah R. Klevans, director of the Outreach Office of Program Development, led the Penn State Outreach and Cooperative Extension team that organized the local program for this national teleconference. Participating team members included staff from the Outreach Office of Marketing Communications and Conferences and Institutes.
