Courage to Care

Carolyn CornelisonCarolyn Cornelison, Ph.D., uses her knowledge, personal experiences and personality to take a very realistic look at college drinking, taking responsibility, recognizing abuse and helping those with alcohol problems in her program Courage to Care. Her presentation makes college students laugh and sometimes cry as she shares her experiences as both a sorority member and athlete. Through her own stories and those of friends, Carolyn teaches students her three keys to caring:

  1. Knowledge – Understanding the signs of out-of-control behaviors and knowing what to do about them;

  2. Sensitivity – Becoming aware of these behaviors in yourself and those around you; and

  3. Courage – Taking steps to help someone who has a problem with alcohol.
Carolyn has traveled to more than 500 campuses and has been a part of numerous Greek education, athletic department and general campus health programs. She is the former director of special projects for BACCHUS & GAMMA Peer Education Network.
