Yeshiva Holds Substance Abuse Workshop for Students

On Thursday December 2nd, Dr. Efrem Nulman, University Dean of Students, conducted a workshop focused at answering student questions about all facets of drug use. Addressing thirteen riveted students during club hour, Nulman fielded inquiries ranging from the effects of smoking marijuana, to drug use in the orthodox community.
