ERIE, Pa. - On Monday, April 24, Mercyhurst College will host guest speaker Tim Otterman to give a presentation on internet gambling.

Otterman, a faculty member at Central Michigan University, recently completed a Sports Gambling Training series with the student affairs personnel at CMU on February 17, and gave a webcast for the National Athletic Training Association (NATA). In March he presented at the American College Personnel Association in Indianapolis.

Otterman's PowerPoint colloquium is fairly interactive with the students and covers information like the gambling continuum, gambling laws, gambling warning signs and real-life scenarios that happen on college campuses. The content is driven by NCAA regulations and will be presented to the Athletic Department staff as well as student-athletes at 7:00 PM in the Walker Recital Hall.
