David Dollahite to address OPAC brown-bag lunch Oct. 9

BYU’s Office Professionals Advisory Committee (OPAC) and Human Resource Services will host a brown-bag presentation Thursday, Oct. 9, at 12:05 p.m. in 3220 Wilkinson Student Center featuring David C. Dollahite from the School of Family Life.

Dollahite will discuss family and parenting, emphasizing ways to talk with your children when they face crossroads in their lives and how to keep children interested in religious issues and gospel principles when they’re losing interest.

Attendees should bring their own lunches. For more information contact Laura Black at (801) 422-2853 or laura_black@byu.edu. For more information about OPAC or to find your department representative, visit byu.edu/hr/employees/opac/about-opac.
