We are grateful to have received funding to expand the impact of our College’s program.  The grant featured improving capacity, creating evidence-based decision making; and provided a new array of activities to students to reach the at-risk populations.  The goal of the grant was to reduce alcohol binging by 5% in our at-risk population:  student athletes, residence hall students, and first-year students.  Due to the grant we were able to fund the following events and projects.
