Action by SGA
• Student Government Association passed a
resolution to support Responsible Action
Legislation (similar action on the state level).
• Many do not seek medical attention for an
overdose to avoid legal consequences.
• This legislation is intended to prioritize safety
and lifesaving by reducing citations/fines.
• Future will include advertisement and detail on
medical emergencies to inspire a focus on safety.
• Not intended as a “free pass” to abuse AOD.
Alcohol-Wise Findings
• Fall and spring administration
• 50% increase; understanding about alcohol and
associated behavioral health issues (pre to post)
• 20% increase; recognition of adverse relationship
between alcohol use and academic success
• 86% agreed that the content was appropriate
and easy to understand; 65% of students agreed
that the interactions were interesting and
helpful; and, 61% of students agreed that the
course would help them avoid future problems
with alcohol.
