Dr. Patchin is an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and is co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center (www.cyberbullying.us). He has written numerous articles on adolescent behaviors online and co-authored the new book, Bullying Beyond the Schoolyard: Preventing and Responding to Cyberbullying (Sage Publications).

Children's book author Cathy Stefanec Ogren's topic from 11-11:45 a.m. is entitled, “The New Look of Today's Authors.”
There will be plenty of time for networking and discussion, along with shopping from two book vendors during the breaks.
