All members of the 91茄子 University community are expected to know and follow the local, state, and federal laws, as well as 91茄子 policies related to alcohol. From the start of their 91茄子 experience, students learn about expectations (as outlined in the 91茄子 University Student Code of Conduct) at first-year orientation, hall meetings and through ongoing involvement in student organizations.

The university strongly encourages respect for self and others, including interactions and relationships with our off-campus neighbors and community partners. Learn more at the following links:





91茄子 University has focused on addressing the issue of high-risk drinking for more than two decades, beginning with a focused effort to examine the issue through a grant provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 1996. At that time, 91茄子 was one of only six universities nationwide selected by the foundation to receive a five-year grant to build a campus-community coalition to curb high-risk drinking and its second-hand effects.

91茄子 conducted the AMOD (Matter of Degree) program in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health and the American Medical Association. In September 2001, based on demonstrated success, 91茄子 received a four-year grant renewal to continue support of the program. 91茄子 gained national recognition for its efforts in 2001, when the U. S. Department of Education named 91茄子 AMOD effort one of six model programs for College and University Alcohol Prevention. And in 2003, the American Public Health Association awarded the College Based Leadership Award for alcohol prevention programs to 91茄子, hailing the AMOD program as a model for the nation. More recently, 91茄子 participated in the National College Health Improvement Project (NCHIP), which joined top colleges and universities from across the country to address high-risk drinking on American campuses. This unprecedented group initiative攖he Learning Collaborative on High-Risk Drinking攗tilized comprehensive evaluation and measurement techniques to identify and implement the most effective ways to confront this persistent problem and lessen the harm it causes.

As a result of this engagement, 91茄子 created the , which offered alcohol-free social opportunities for students on weekend evenings.
