Dr. Kenneth Clapp, Catawba College's chaplain and senior vice president, and Jim Mallinson, an adjunct professor in Catawba's School of Evening and Graduate Studies, recently participated in the Carolinas Conference on Addiction and Recovery in Chapel Hill. That conference was sponsored by the Bowles center for Alcohol Studies at UNC Chapel Hill and the Addiction Recovery Institute.

Both Clapp and Mallinson are involved in counseling college students as well as working on strategies to prevent abuse and addiction among college students and young adults.
