Amenson-Hill discusses drinking, social media dangers with NBC 26

NBC 26 on Friday ran a story on the prevalence of so-called “passout pages” on social media, including Twitter. Reporter Megan Lowry spoke with Dean of Students Brenda Amenson-Hill about the trend, which involves students from various colleges and universities posting photos of others who apparently have passed out after drinking. Amenson-Hill emphasized the importance of alcohol education and said it’s important for students to understand that what they post online can be viewed by administrators or future employers. “There’s a lot of positives (about social media),” she said, “but some of these more negative things are not going to help the students that are posting on here in the future.” Full story.
