Herren to return to campus to talk about 'The First Day'

Chris Herren, former NCAA and NBA basketball player and star of the ESPN 30 for 30 Movie “Unguarded,” makes his return to Chautauqua County when he appears at a free event to talk about his latest film project, "The First Day,” Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. in McEwen Hall Room 209.

Since 2009, Herren has spoken to over one million students, athletes and community members, sparking honest discussions on the topics of substance use disorder and wellness. A person in long-term recovery, Chris continues to share his story nationally with a renewed focus on prevention education and challenging audiences to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction – changing the focus from the last day to the first.
