We Educate
We have educational efforts to teach our students about the risks related to alcohol and other drug consumption (e.g.; Alcohol.EDU, required for all incoming students since 2004; a community standards session at orientation; residence hall programming; peer education (HAWKS) off-campus student education, and Welcome Week activity). Among communications to parents are sessions at orientation, tips in the parents newsletter on how to talk to your student about alcohol, and a card to them before their child’s 21st birthday warning of the practice of drinking “21 shots” on 21st birthdays.
