Informing the community about dangers of alcohol By Adrian Greer
Many people may not think about the dangers of alcohol or even know they exist. However, the program “Choose Not to Lose” is looking to change that in our community. “Ninety percent of the teens in our area have their first drink at home,” Dr. Martha Tingen, Director of Choose Not to Lose, shared. “And I think we need to reach out to parents and let them know this is happening, that it is dangerous and illegal, and help them with strategies to prevent it.” And that goes hand in hand with one focus of the program, to inform the public, both parents
and youth, just how dangerous alcohol can be. “Beyond the illegality of it, alcohol does have a different impact on the developing teenage brain; teenagers are more likely to become addicted.” Tingen said. “Those who start drinking by age 15 are five times more likely to abuse alcohol.” And many in the community are not aware of these dangers. But that is where she and her team want to make a difference. “We are working with the community to have leaders make the difference,” she said. “And we are working on getting the facts out through numerous venues.” See Alcohol, page 9

He said right now, the focus is on University Village and the Health Sciences residences. “We’re just excited about getting things underway. We want to see students involved and active in the housing community. Incoming students always bring a special energy with them, and it’s just a great feeling to experience that. We’re ready to get this school year going.”

GRU alumnus wins international medical illustration contest By Nicholas Garrett
Paul Kim, Medical Illustration Graduate Program alumnus, ‘11, has been selected as the winner of the 2013 Netter Illustration Paul Kim Contest. The contest, sponsored by Elsevier Inc., publisher of Dr. Frank H. Netter’s “Atlas of Human Anatomy,” challenged medical illustrators from around the world to create an illustration that shows the spatial relationships between a nerve root and its surrounding structures. Kim’s illustration will replace Netter’s image on plate 163 in the next edition of “Atlas of Human Anatomy.” Having received his bachelor’s
degree in biology from Campbell University, Kim originally planned to attend dental school after graduating, but later changed his career path in order to follow his passion for medical illustration. In May 2011, he received his master’s degree in medical illustration from Georgia Regents University. A Board Certified Medical Illustrator, Kim has won several awards including the prestigious Orville Parkes Student Best of Show award at the 2010 annual Association of Medical Illustrators conference. Kim was also the first student to win the Stenstrom Award of Excellence twice at the annual UGA/GHSU Student Scientific and Medical Illustration Exhibition. “It’s truly a blessing to do what I love for a living and for the benefit of others,” Kim said. “I can’t imagine doing anything else than being a medical illustrator.”

Crime rates linked to season, time of day, according to GRU professor By LaTina Emerson
Factors such as the season, time of day, day of the week, and month of the year can have an impact on crime rates, according to a Georgia Regents University sociology professor. Interpersonal violence tends to go up as the temperature increases, and property crimes tend to go up as the temperature declines, said Dr. Bill Reese, Professor in the Department of Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Social Work at GRU. “In the wintertime, property crimes reach the high peak, and during the summertime, interpersonal crimes reach the high peak,” he said. “People have supposed that has something to do with climatic or temperature effects. People’s tempers may be shorter if it’s hot. If it’s 100 degrees outside and the humidity is 80 percent, their patience may be shorter. But most of the explanation of that phenomenon centers on what we call opportunity theory.” According to opportunity theory, in the summertime, people are more
likely to be out and congregating in communal places, such as beaches, parks, and shopping areas. Numerically, there are more face-to-face interactions, so there’s a greater possibility that interactions will go awry, Reese said. The most common crime is larceny theft, or theft without contact between the perpetrator and victim. In the winter, this crime increases, especially around the Christmas season. “There’s more property in people’s cars, so there is a greater opportunity for property crime,” he said. Scholars have also studied the temporality of crime, or the pattern of crime over a 24-hour period, such as time of day, day of the week, and month of the year, said Reese, who teaches a class on juvenile delinquency, or the crime of persons 17 or under, which includes the issues of temporality. “Delinquency is at its highest level the hours before and after school, highest on school days, and then it goes down when school is not in session,” he said. “If you look at crime
data plotted out over a 24-hour sequence, crime peaks the hour before school begins in the morning and the hour immediately after school lets out. For the days of the week, delinquency goes down on the weekend. For the months of the year, in anticipation of school starting, delinquency rates start up. They’ll almost hit their highest annual peak when the public schools go into session and will sustain the high level of delinquency rates until the first significant break in the school year. Delinquency drops off dramatically during the Christmas holiday and comes right back up with the beginning of the spring semester. When school lets out for the year, delinquency rates decline significantly and reach their lowest point during the summertime.” Reese is co-author of an article called “Untimely Acts: Extending the Interactionist Conception of Deviance” published in “The Sociological Quarterly” that examines how time and temporality distinguish deviant acts from routine or other unconventional acts.

alcohol..from page 1 Overall, the initiative is part of a five-year contract with the State of Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Addictive Diseases/Office of Prevention Services that aims to implement a comprehensive approach through five steps:
1) Needs assessment of the community 2) Capacity building and infrastructure 3) Strategic planning 4) Implementation 5) Evaluation The initial needs assessment included surveying more than 2,200 people across seven zip codes comprising Richmond, Columbia, and McDuffie counties, according to Tingen. Colleges, churches, middle and high schools, vocational schools, libraries, public housing, and neighborhood centers were offered surveys, which included three age ranges per zip code: 9-17, 1825, and 26 and over. Interviews were also conducted with alcohol retailers and law enforcement officers. Other community members including medical providers, teachers, and youth were interviewed in an effort to get a pulse on the community regarding alcohol use in youth, according to Tingen. “The goal was two-fold,” said Tingen. “We wanted to obtain the needed baseline assessment for our community and to get people excited about getting involved with us in addressing this crisis for our youth.” In the interviews and meetings, people were asked what they thought about the dangers, what they wanted to see done, and what
ways would be effective to reach people. Now the group is using that information to develop an action plan for the area. Partnering with two other area organizations who are also recipients of state funding, Columbia County Community Connections (Executive Director Julie Miller, M.P.A.) and Family Connections and Communities in Schools of Glascock County Inc. (Executive Director Wanda Davis), the team has launched an area-wide media awareness campaign as the first step. Five digital billboards are active in Richmond and Columbia counties. Messages are focused on the billboards, in advertisements in the Metro Spirit, and other venues using timely appeals. For example, during May, graduation-related advertisements were used sharing information with students as to how alcohol abuse can impact their future. But that is only the beginning as similar announcements are planned throughout the year. Television advertisements about the campaign air on WJBF News Channel 6.

Alcohol: Know the facts: 90 percent of teens in our area have their first drink at home. The Monitoring the Future survey found that 13% of 8th graders and 27% of 10th graders said they had consumed alcohol in the past month (before the survey). A young person’s brain and body are still growing. Drinking alcohol can cause learning problems or lead to adult alcoholism. People who begin drinking by age 15 are five times more likely to abuse or become dependent on alcohol than those who begin drinking after age 20. If you’re under 21, drinking alcohol is a big problem: It’s illegal. If caught, you may have to pay a fine, perform community service, or take alcohol awareness classes. Kids who drink also are more likely to get poor grades in school and are at higher risk for being a crime victim. In 2010, there were approximately 189,000 emergency rooms visits by persons under age 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol.

The IPPH has been extremely supportive of the initiative and helped sponsor a Community Town Hall in the fall of 2012. With nearly 200 attendees present, a power-packed lineup of speakers presented on the challenges faced in the community with youth and alcohol. “We’re working to develop a social movement,” Tingen said. “This is a huge public issue, and many people don’t know that it’s happening. If we can just involve the community in the decision making of the next and needed steps, help people to understand the dangers, equip them with skills to address it, then together we could make a big difference for our youth.” You can find out more about the program at Choosenottolose.com or on Facebook at www.facebook. com/ChooseNotToLose?directed_ target_id=0 or on twitter at choosenottolose.

Reaching out into the community
More than 100 Georgia Regents University volunteers provided free health screenings for 330 workers July 19 at the 8th Annual Costa Layman Health Fair in Trenton, S.C. The event has been sponsored for the past eight years by the GRU College of Nursing and is coordinated by its Clinical Nurse Leader students. To date, nearly 2,500 health screenings have been performed at Costa Layman Farms, one of the largest perennial farms in the United States. During the event, university volunteers examined workers’ eyes, teeth, and skin. They measured height, weight, blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, and heel bone density, and performed tests for grip strength, sleep apnea, and pulmonary function.

GRU offers new M.D./M.B.A. Dual Degree By Danielle Harris
As the demand for businesssavvy physicians continues to grow the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University and GRU’s James M. Hull College of Business have teamed up to offer a new joint M.D./M.B.A. degree. According to Marc Miller, Dean of the Hull College of Business, and Paul
Wallach, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs at MCG, the five-year degree program that begins this fall is designed to expand the academic diversity of physician graduates entering the workforce. “I believe this dual degree program will truly help our institution produce physicians who are not only passionate about their patients, but also are great business leaders in the
medical field,” said Miller. “With the rigorous curriculum being taught by highly skilled professors, we know our graduates will be better equipped to meet the future challenges of the health care industry.” “This program will educate a cadre of future physician leaders,” said Wallach. “The traditional role of physicians is changing. The health care industry is increasingly complex,
and one result is a growing need for physicians who also have strong management and leadership skills, knowledge of health care economics, and a better understanding of the health care system. Our M.D./M.B.A. program will equip our students with the in-depth knowledge they need to both provide outstanding clinical care and lead within a complex health care system,” he said.
Eligible participants must be MCG students who are then accepted into the M.B.A. program after their third year of medical school. The final two years of the five-year dual degree will consist of students completing classes for both medical and business school. For more information, call the Hull College of Business at 706-737-1418 or the MCG Curriculum Office at 706721-3217.

Provost Perspective
GRU gives more opportunities for a complete student life
By Provost Gretchen Caughman
Often when I look back at my university experiences I remember events that occurred outside of the classroom, but was influenced by what I learned in class. As a biochemistry major, I loved the classroom lectures and lab sessions, but what I remember most vividly and what influenced me most were field trips with the Biochem Club to see firsthand what science meant to the real world. Whether it was touring a food processing plant and learning how to make cheese in dump truck-sized vats or a carpet factory to see how a batch of hard plastic pellets could be turned into a plush synthetic carpet, these excursions expanded my horizons in ways didactic coursework could not. And I have to credit our visit to the research labs of Oak Ridge National Laboratory Biology Division for at least some of my decision to pursue graduate school and a career in biomedical sciences research. Memories such as these tell us a lot about the university experience and what graduates take away from it. They remind us how much we are shaped by our experiences, and how much our appreciation for academics is augmented by the opportunity to see a practical use for what we learn. Experiences like these tell us exactly how impactful it is when the academic and student activities aspects of student life
intersect. In the past, at some universities, student activities and academics were treated as separate entities. Clubs and organizations over here and academics over there, and never the two shall meet. But more recently, colleges have been working to blur those lines so that the two entities work together in cooperation to create a complete student life experience, in which the academic and student activities are more often complementary. Prior to consolidation, our two institutions were certainly taking many steps in this direction, but we now have a fantastic opportunity to reconstruct the very foundations of these programs and start fresh from a new base of cooperation and collaboration. Already we are seeing some of the fruits of these efforts in, for instance, the upcoming Freshman Convocation. Students will be guided through the Convocation and Lyceum, which are traditionally academic affairs events, by team leaders from Orientation, a student affairs program. This cooperation allows new students to have a familiar face with them during Convocation, and the extra hands are always welcome when dealing with a large group of students. It also allows the student orientation leaders to gain more leadership experience as part of the process. Student affairs and academic affairs are also collaborating on the new orientation classes for students in university housing. Student affairs is responsible for housing, while academic affairs is responsible for the class, but clearly there is value in the two working together to present the full picture to the student. And there is also an intrinsic benefit that comes simply from
the two staffs working directly together. Those in student affairs tend to be aware of one set of issues students may face, while those in academics are likely to be mindful of a completely different set. By working together, the two units draw from the expertise and experiences of both to ensure the students’ interests are always best served. With collaboration, we can also focus on learning outcomes for student activities, and create easy links when activities align with in-class work. If reading a story by an author is a particular course assignment, and that author is then scheduled to visit the university as part of a student activities event, it makes the classroom experience come alive even more. Academics and student affairs have common goals: to provide support to the students and to prepare students to succeed in the world. These goals can be accomplished by these units more readily working together than in isolation. The Fall should be exciting as this intersection between academic and student affairs becomes increasingly bright with the arrival of our new Vice President for Student Affairs. Planned efforts to expand and engage students in athletics, CURS, and study abroad will be underway, while learning communities, peer-to-peer mentoring, shadowing, and ambassador programs will bridge the traditional silos to form a more cohesive, interconnected student life for personal and academic success. GRU’s academic affairs and student affairs teams are committed to preparing our students for a successful future, together. This is just the beginning, so stay tuned for more as the year continues.
