Ferris State University’s seminar courses will be hosting Beer, Booze and Books –
presented by Jim Matthews at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. in Williams Auditorium on Thursday,
Sept. 17. Beer, Booze and Books is a presentation designed to educate students about
how drinking can have detrimental effects relative to their academic and social affairs.
An approved speaker for the NCAA Sports Sciences Speaker Grant program, Matthews has been recognized by the New Hampshire Legislature for his superior work in substance abuse, education and prevention. Matthews has presented alcohol and other drug education and abuse preventions for more than 400,000 students on 400-plus campuses around the U.S. and Canada.
