At ¹û¶³´«Ã½, we place an emphasis on the academic success and the health and safety of our students. The efforts of substance abuse prevention and education are directed towards reducing the impacts of alcohol and drug use on students’ ability to perform at their highest levels in their academic endeavors and on their ability to support healthy lifestyles during and after their time at ¹û¶³´«Ã½. We are committed to promoting a community that values, teaches and models healthy life choices and to creating conditions that provide a safe environment for learning and living.

• Reducing high risk drinking - through collaboration and partnerships with students, faculty and staff, use of the CollegeAIM and participation in the Indiana Collegiate Action Network
• Policy - regular review of the Student Handbook, working through shared governance with student leaders, collaborating with the offices of Community Standards and ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Police Department, and education of the campus of ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Medical Amnesty and the Indiana Lifeline Law.
