[Vcsa-announcements] Regional Recognition for Golden ARCHES

[Doug Everhart]

Hi All,

 

As we prepare to wrap up another outstanding year of programming and student
support, I wanted to share some recent regional recognition for students and
staff of the Golden ARCHES Peer Health Education Program.  Last month, we
hosted students and staff from across the state in the BACCHUS Network's
Area Two Regional Conference.  As a reminder, The BACCHUS Network supports
nearly 1,000 peer health and wellness education programs at over 900
campuses across the country.  Area Two, the southwest region of the network,
includes affiliates in the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada.

 

UCR student and ANGLE Co-Director, Catherine Pham, in her role as Area Two
Student Advisory Committee member gave a luncheon keynote at the conference.
During this luncheon, UCR also received two awards.

 

Scott Clayton, a Co-Director of the Student Athlete Mentors at UCR, was
awarded the Outstanding Area Two Student Award.  Scott has been and active
member in the Golden ARCHES program for the last two years, serving as
Co-Director this year.  He has served on the APPLE Conference team for the
last two years, which helped athletics review and update their alcohol,
tobacco and other drug policies last year, and is reviewing and evaluating
their current drug education, testing and treatment program.  He has taken
an active leadership role in several awareness campaigns and program
initiatives, and is currently taking a lead in the development of a men's
program to address sexual assault and violence issues.  Scott has also been
one of the four UCR nominees for the NCAA's National Student-Athlete
Development Conference for the past two years.  He is a junior member of the
men's golf team, placed 3rd as an individual in the Big West Conference
Championships a couple of weeks ago, and does all of this while carrying a
4.0 GPA.

 

Doug Everhart, advisor to the Golden ARCHES program for 10 years, was
awarded the inaugural Advisor of the Year Award at the conference.

 

Joseph Kim was the campus coordinator and contact for the conference, and
did a phenomenal job of logistical details and follow-through in ensuring
our visiting students and advisors got to see the best of UCR facilities,
food and service.  Rave reviews for Joe's job and the UCR
facilities/services were shared with me throughout the weekend.

 

Congratulations to all of our outstanding students and staff who represent
UCR so well!
