&lt;u&gt;Please Distribute Widely&lt;/u&gt;&#13;
&#13;
The Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching is pleased to offer the following workshop for Virginia Tech faculty members and administrators.  All of us would like to do our part in shaping a future beyond April 16 that ensures not only survival but also the possibility of positive growth for ourselves, our colleagues and our students.  But how do we attain this outcome?  Drs. Echterling and Stewart bring to this workshop not only their considerable experience, but a research based model that helps us do so.&#13;
&#13;
Please join us for either of the two sessions on August 30.  We would appreciate your letting us know of your participation by registering at the CEUT website (http://&lt;u&gt;www.ceut.vt.edu&lt;/u&gt;).&#13;
&#13;
Pathways to Resilience: From Surviving to Thriving&#13;
Dr. Lennis Echterling and Dr. Anne Stewart&#13;
&#13;
A Workshop for Virginia Tech Faculty and Administrators&#13;
Sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching&#13;
Thursday, August 30, 2007, The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center&#13;
Morning &lt;i&gt;or&lt;/i&gt; Afternoon, 9:00 am - noon &lt;i&gt;or&lt;/i&gt; 2:00 - 5:00 pm&#13;
&#13;
Most of us are remarkably hardy when it comes to our response to traumatic events. According to research, between 75% and 90% of survivors of traumatic events report personal growth and positive transformations some months or years after such events (Echterling &amp; Stewart, in press).&#13;
&#13;
In this workshop, Drs. Echterling and Stewart will draw upon this promising research and their years of experience providing disaster intervention services to help faculty members and administrators foster a psychologically secure learning environment for our students and ourselves. Specifically, workshop leaders will help us better understand the concept of resilience, recognize crisis as a turning point that involves both threats and opportunities, and integrate techniques that enhance hope and that resolve into instructional strategies.&#13;
&#13;
Registration for either the morning or afternoon sessions of this three-hour workshop may be completed by clicking on the appropriate registration link at: http://www.ceut.vt.edu&#13;

&#13;
La reciente desgracia en el Virginia Tech, de los Estados Unidos, dejÃ³ mucho para analizar.&#13;
&#13;
Lo que cabe aquÃ­, como reflexiÃ³n, es el papel activo de los tres polos de la crisis -el estudiante psicÃ³pata, los estudiantes afectados y la casa de estudios- para comunicarse por sus propios medios con el pÃºblico.&#13;
&#13;
El estudiante coreano tuvo la sangre frÃ­a, antes de proseguir su matanza y suicidarse, para hacer una filmaciÃ³n casera donde advertÃ­a de sus propÃ³sitos y sus motivos para llevar a cabo la matanza, y demostrÃ³ un manejo espeluznante de la situaciÃ³n. Este video, despuÃ©s de que Ã©l mismo lo enviara a la NBC, fue visto en todo el mundo a travÃ©s de innumerables medios, entre ellos You Tube.&#13;
&#13;
Por el lado de la universidad, tuvo reflejos rÃ¡pidos ante la crisis. Su rector, Charles W. Steger, explicÃ³ que no habÃ­an cerrado las puertas del campus mientras la masacre tenÃ­a lugar, debido a que tienen 26.000 estudiantes y no sabÃ­an muy bien quÃ© estaba ocurriendo, por lo cual no querÃ­an sobreactuar.&#13;
&#13;
Durante los acontecimientos, los estudiantes encerrados en sus habitaciones se comunicaban entre ellos a travÃ©s de chats, blogs y otros recursos online. A la vez, la universidad les habÃ­a enviado un e-mail a todos alertÃ¡ndolos de la situaciÃ³n.&#13;
&#13;
Pero lo que se destaca en la actuaciÃ³n del Virginia Tech es el uso de los medios comunitarios en la comunicaciÃ³n de crisis. Su sitio en Internet fue virtualmente reemplazado por otro con informaciÃ³n al instante sobre las Ãºltimas novedades, que ahora ya tiene una secciÃ³n "in memoriam" con los nombres de las vÃ­ctimas. TambiÃ©n se encuentra allÃ­ una serie de podcasts de las autoridades. Actualmente, la parte del sitio dedicada a este tema tiene un dominio propio. La ventaja de la Universidad de Virginia es, como hemos dicho en otra columna, su situaciÃ³n de vÃ­ctima frente al gran villano, que resultÃ³ ser el estudiante coreano.&#13;
&#13;
Otros actores secundarios pueden ser afectados por este suceso impredecible: uno es el presidente George W. Bush, quien tuvo que ratificar su postura favorable a la libre tenencia de armas de fuego y debiÃ³ comunicar su pesar por la masacre al mismo tiempo. Otro es Corea del Sur, paÃ­s del que era oriundo el asesino. Si bien es obvio que no hay responsabilidad de esa naciÃ³n (y que el maniÃ¡tico podrÃ­a haber venido de cualquier otro lugar), de todas maneras la marca-paÃ­s queda ligada a este episodio en el inconciente de muchos Â¿QuÃ© habrÃ­a sucedido si este estudiante hubiera sido nacido en una naciÃ³n del Islam? AdemÃ¡s, el debate sobre las licencias para la portaciÃ³n de armas, que tiene a dos grandes sectores de opiniÃ³n enfrentados, tambiÃ©n se ve matizado por este suceso.&#13;
&#13;
No han faltado quienes culpan a los videojuegos, la mÃºsica moderna y las pelÃ­culas violentas de instigar a los jÃ³venes a la violencia, y de llevar a episodios extremos como Ã©ste. Y los medios masivos, dice, son grandes responsables en este sentido.&#13;
&#13;
Para un observador del campo de la comunicaciÃ³n, el episodio constituye un caso que demuestra hasta quÃ© punto hay crisis que son impredecibles. Si la Universidad de Virginia tenÃ­a escrito un manual de procedimientos para crisis, dudo bastante que hubiera contemplado una matanza de estudiantes a manos de un loco.&#13;
&#13;
En segundo lugar, este caso ratifica hasta quÃ© punto el tiempo de resoluciÃ³n de una crisis se ha acotado, y cÃ³mo el control del mensaje es cada vez mÃ¡s difÃ­cil de mantener. Los medios comunitarios de primera y segunda generaciÃ³n (e-mails y celulares, blogs y grupos virtuales) se superponen con las comunicaciones institucionales de los organismos que antes monopolizaban la producciÃ³n y la distribuciÃ³n del mensaje, y lo que es peor, compiten con ellos en credibilidad y cercanÃ­a emocional&#13;
