CVA Welcomes Dr. Crawford C. Campbell

Just before the holiday break, CVA welcomed Dr. Crawford C. Campbell to campus for an engaging and informative presentation with students in grades 10–12. A two-time CVA parent alum and longtime Sugarloafer, Dr. Campbell shared his medical expertise to help students better understand the science of addiction and how substances affect the brain and body.
Drawing on his background as an orthopedic surgeon and graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Campbell broke down complex neuroscience into clear, accessible concepts. His presentation focused on how addiction develops, why the adolescent brain is especially vulnerable, and how choices made today can have lasting impacts on health and well-being. 

Students came away with a deeper appreciation for the science behind decision-making, as well as practical knowledge they can apply in their own lives. CVA is grateful to Dr. Campbell—father of Colin ’08 and James ’11—for returning to campus and contributing to our ongoing commitment to student education, wellness, and informed choice.
