The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of a three-week death and dying symposium at Colorado State University on attitudes and anxiety related to death, dying, and grief. A prepost control group design was employed using psychology undergraduate students as participants. Because of an overall finding of low participant attendance at the symposium events, participants who attended at least one event were assigned to the treatment group for data analyses. Results indicated lower death anxiety for students in both the treatment and control groups. The findings are discussed in terms of the widespread media coverage and informal discussions which accompany large-scale symposiums. Future research is suggested regarding the dynamic effects of such death and dying symposiums in relation to both attendants and nonattendants
