Educational Programs and Training Opportunities

We are committed to promoting a community that teaches and models healthy life choices and to creating conditions that provide a safe environment for learning and living.

As part of this commitment, С̹½ÊÓÆµ focuses many efforts on educating students about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse.

For Incoming StudentsÌý

Before arriving on campus, all new students — both first-year and transfer students — are required to complete an online educational program about alcohol and drug use.

Through this program, students:

  • Receive information about С̹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s substance-related policies.

  • Reflect on their own attitudes and perceptions about alcohol and drug usage.

As part of the First-Year Experience co-curriculum, students also participate in:

  • Educational programs and activities during New Student Orientation.

  • Ongoing programs throughout the first semester that focus on contributing to a healthy and safe campus community.
