On Wednesday, September 9, at 1:00 p.m. in the University Student Union Presidents Room 1&2, there will be a informational open discussion about high pressure groups and how they operate.
The discussion is to provide awareness that these type of groups are similar to cults. Recruitment is a rising problem on campus due to the persistent recruiting tactics used and the consequences suffered if joined.
The meeting will be presented by the Interfaith Center and the University Police Department. The speakers will be Officer Bonnie Myers, Campus Minister Laurie Oester and Adele Langworthy.
For further information, please contact the Interfaith Center +1 (562) 985-7629 and also the University Police at 985-4101.
