CBCS Faculty Member Appointed to Editorial Board for Harm Reduction Journal
 Khary Rigg, PhD, was recently appointed to the editorial board for Harm Reduction Journal (HRJ). HRJ, published by BioMed Central, is an online peer-reviewed journal that publishes research focusing on the prevalent patterns of psychoactive drug use, the public policies meant to control them, and the search for effective methods of reducing the adverse medical, public health, and social consequences associated with both drugs and drug policies. The journal is especially interested in studies of the evolving patterns of drug use around the world, their implications for the spread of HIV/AIDS, and in rigorous evaluations of innovative drug policies and practices. Although many journals publish drug use research, HRJ is the first to focus exclusively on this public health model and to make contemporary research on harm reduction freely available online. Dr. Rigg's responsibilities will include peer-reviewing manuscript submissions, contributing content (i.e., articles, editorials), acting as an ambassador for the journal, organizing sessions at the International Harm Reduction Conference, and providing input into strategy regarding the journal's future direction. Dr. Rigg also sits on the editorial boards for Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Qualitative Social Work, and Substance Use & Misuse.

Excel Training Back by Popular Demand
We have developed nine sessions, starting with the basic I-know-nothing-about-Excel and progressing through pivot tables. You can pick and choose which sessions to attend, based on your skill level and what you want to learn.
We are basing the training on the Excel 2013 Essential Training modules in Lynda.com. This will make it easier to learn what you need and to retain what you learn:
- Use the modules as refreshers for the instructor-led sessions you don't want to attend.
- Use the modules to learn the skills covered in instructor-led sessions that you are unable to attend.
- Review the information covered after attending an instructor-led session.
Each session will include "homework" that will enable you to practice the skills you've learned in your daily work.
