March 2015: Student Research Colloquium and Sugar Social

HEGSA & The Center for College Readiness
Cosponsor a STUDENT RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM  and SUGAR SOCIAL
Wednesday, March 18 from 6:30—7:30 pm
Jubilee Hall Conference Room 231
Jennifer Mezzina, ELMP doctoral student will present Cyberbullying & Schools. Cyberbullying is on the rise and the effects can
be detrimental to students. Despite the inclusion of “electronic harassment” in most state anti-bullying laws, school leaders are unsure
of how to handle cyberbullying. This research compares language in the NJ State Anti Bullying Act to state laws across the country and
examines court decisions in order to make recommendations for school policies on cyberbullying.
Following the colloquium, ELMP students will have the opportunity to meet new students, connect with colleagues, and
take a short break in-between classes at HEGSA’s Second Annual Sugar Social.
