Cupola Conversation on crisis response scheduled for Oct. 29

The Division of Student Affairs will continue Cupola Conversations this academic year.  Cupola Conversations is a program developed in Fall 2016 intended to create informal opportunities for the university community to engage in constructive dialogue about various topics.
Each Cupola Conversation features a panel of students, faculty, staff and community members who share opinions and thoughts about what they believe is needed to engage in better, more constructive, conversations about the topic.
The first installment of Cupola Conversations for Fall 2018 is entitled “Crisis Response” and will be held 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 244.
With the effects of Hurricane Florence still being felt in eastern North Carolina, this Cupola Conversation will focus on the university’s process of responding to crisis situations and inclement weather, as well as ongoing recovery efforts for students and community members throughout the region. Administrators, staff and students will address questions and provide insight on ECU’s crisis response protocol, focusing on crisis management, emergency response procedures and the factors considered during the decision-making process.
This program will be a town hall style format moderated by Dr. Erik Kneubuehl and features the following panelists:

• John Hurley, MS4, Brody School of Medicine
• Dr. Chris Locklear, Vice Provost for Academic Success, Division of Academic Affairs
• Lauren Mink, Continuity and Emergency Planner, Environmental Health and Safety
• Dr. Sharon Paynter, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Community Engagement and Research
• Chris Stansbury, Associate Vice Chancellor/Senior Operating Officer, Division of Student Affairs

Cupola Conversations are free and open to the entire ECU community. Those unable to attend can join the conversation live on Facebook.
