Office of Alcohol & Other Drugs Programs Observes National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week
National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness (NCAAW) week is Oct. 20 – 24, and Georgia Southern University’s Office of Alcohol & Other Drugs Programs has a variety of student events planned throughout the week to bring attention to the serious public health issues posed by excessive drinking among college students.
“We hope that the events of the week will motivate students to drink responsibly, set healthy limits and never drive while under the influence of alcohol,” said Nicole Withers, administrative coordinator.
Hundreds of colleges and universities in the United States recognize the importance of campus health promotion efforts addressing alcohol abuse and impaired driving prevention by participating in NCAAW. The events are free and open to all students.
“Our free resources for self-referred students include substance abuse screenings, one-on-one alcohol and marijuana interventions, alcohol and other drug presentations and campus-wide awareness events and programs,” said Withers.
