Please join us for today’s Student Wellness Wednesday as we recognize National Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week and focus on building awareness about how substance use can impact your health, decision-making, and overall well-being.
College is a time when many students experience new freedoms, social situations, and pressures. Having accurate information about drugs and alcohol can help you make informed choices that support your goals, safety, and success both academically and personally. National Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week is an opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and explore resources that can help you stay healthy and make decisions that align with what matters most to you.
Today’s event highlights how awareness, education, and access to resources can help you make choices that support your well-being throughout the semester.
