The U.S. Department of Education will convene its 21st annual National
Meeting on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention in
Higher Education, October 18-21, 2007, at the Doubletree Hotel &
Executive Meeting Center in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The Department is
now inviting poster and workshop presentation proposals with specific
emphasis on effective strategies and comprehensive programming. This
year's National Meeting theme is Harvesting Ideas for Safe and Healthy
Campuses: Effective Strategies Built on Research and Practice.

Please plan now to submit your 2007 National Meeting presentation
proposal via a secure online portal at the Meeting Web site,
www.higheredcenter.org/natl/2007/. The submission deadline will be
Monday, May 7, for review by the Planning Committee and ultimate
acceptance decision by the Department of Education.

Review criteria: Consistency with conference theme; theoretical basis or
context; replicability and adaptability across settings; and evidence of
lessons learned.

Join us in Omaha this fall. Omaha, a city experiencing dynamic growth,
has transformed its downtown into a Midwestern oasis. New riverfront
activities, a historic shopping and dining district, a modern arena and
convention facility, museums, a world-class zoo, performing arts, and
more make Omaha a first-class destination. Get your free visitor's guide
