About the Speaker
Dr. Dewey G. Cornell trained originally as a clinical psychologist to work with children and adolescents. An unanticipated opportunity to work as a forensic clinical psychologist inspired him to undertake research on adolescent homicide and violence prevention.
In 1986 he joined the faculty of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. At UVA, he initiated the Virginia Youth Violence Project to develop and disseminate programs for preventing youth violence and creating safer and more effective schools.
Over the past 30+ years he has authored more than 200 publications in psychology and education, initiated statewide school climate surveys in Virginia, and developed the Virginia Student Threat Assessment Guidelines. He has trained thousands of school-based threat assessment teams in the U.S. and Canada.
