About

The Office of Health Promotion utilizes a multi-faceted approach to accomplish the goal of reducing irresponsible alcohol and drug use. Through our programs, we strive to educate students about the basics of alcohol and drug use and advocate for responsible use. We also manage programs which make it easier for students who choose to drink to be more responsible. Additionally, through collaboration with a variety of other departments on-campus, we offer programs that address the various contextual issues that play a role in alcohol and drug use.

Examples of Alcohol & Drug Programming include: DWI Loteria, SAFE Week, & the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week.
