A Communication Workshop in Conjunction with the NCAA and SDSU CHAMPS/Life Skill Program. Effective communication is regarded as a key ingredient of success in all aspects of life. However, there are many who may suffer from some form of communication deficit. This workshop, "JAB on the REAL", will explore the role of communication in the lives of student-athletes. The goal is to increase awareness of the following three focal points of communication, JAB: (1) jargon-busting, (2) active listening and (3) body language detecting. This is done by utilizing the four communication strategies of REAL (responsible, effective, accountable, and lucid) with professors, teammates, coaches and others. The workshop will utilize a combination of content overview, randomized groups with group presentations, and a brief review of the workshop.

Aztec Athletic Career Connections
"Have a Safe Spring Break" - DUI Simulator The DUI Simulator PEERS AWARE III Simulation SystemTM is based on the patent pending DS Portable Road Simulator, which emulates real road driving conditions. It facilitates training and assessment of drivers in the actual vehicle. This Simulator is designed to realistically show your students the dangers of Drinking and Driving. We will also present our impact video, which will show your students other student's lives from point of entry into the ER to the years down the road - and all of the after effects of their accidents caused by alcohol. As opposed to all other simulators, which try to imitate both the vehicle and the road, using artificial environments, the AWARE III Portable Road Simulator models the road, while using the actual vehicle. Using our car, the student drives onto a computer-controlled road simulator ramp. Simulator sensors and actuators are quickly and non-invasively attached to the vehicle. Panoramic-simulated views of the road are presented to the trainee via virtual reality goggles otherwise known as Head-Mounted Display (HMD). The scenery is computer-generated by virtual reality software. The software receives data from the wheels and pedals of the vehicle to provide an extremely interactive experience recreating various driving conditions. The simulator recreates not only typical every day situations encountered frequently while on the road (e.g. driving in the rain, haze, manipulating car on crowded highways, exits), but also the most extreme of conditions (e.g. driving on ice, driving intoxicated, emergency maneuvers), while preserving both car and driver safety.
