Addiction Education and Intervention

When students find positive value in learning a goal or activity, expect to successfully achieve a desired learning outcome, and perceive support from their environment, they are likely to be strongly motivated to learn. (2010 Ambrose et al.) 

Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Mandated Program

Prime for Life

PRIME For Life is taught for those students typically making high-risk choices and violating campus policy.
