Campus & Community Coalition
for Substance Abuse Prevention
This Coalition is open to any
interested student, faculty, staff or community member who is concerned about
the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. We meet approximately 9
months of the year, generally on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon of that month.
Mission:
The Campus &
Community Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention is to reduce the amount of
substance abuse and associated high-risk behaviors among college students by
creating awareness of the negative consequences of substance abuse, and
enhancing current substance-free activities available to students.

drug information at Welcome Week events
