HC and Michigan State win 2020 Everfi Impact awards

● Excellence in Sexual Assault Prevention -- Michigan State University

● Excellence in Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention -- College of the Holy Cross

College of the Holy Cross is recognized for its efforts in creating an evidence-based, comprehensive, campus-wide substance misuse prevention plan through the collaborative work of its Campus Advisory Board on Alcohol (CABA) and staff of the Office of Wellness Programming. Most notable is a strong alliance between prevention staff and the Athletics Department that has enabled the formation of an athletic substance use peer education group, annual training for all student-athletes, and a set of guidelines to address game day drinking behavior. In addition, they are committed to identifying and expanding opportunities that focus on relationship and community building for students who choose not to drink; and most recently initiated the first phase of their plan to create a Collegiate Recovery Program by opening a designated lounge for students in recovery from a substance use disorder.
