 Alcohol
Awareness Week @ Cal – Fall 2009
A week
of activities asking all parts of our campus community to examine and
shift the attitudes, policies and practices that promote alcohol-related
problems for individuals, departments, campus, and the surrounding community.
Shout Outs, Workshops
& Other Resources
All week. Various times and locations.
Step up and speak up for PartySafe@Cal
in your community. Our initiatives are making a difference. Talk with
student leaders at the tables and events in the res halls, dining commons
and around campus all week.
Alcohol Policy &
Practice @ Cal
Tuesday,
October 20
Every facet
of higher education is made more difficult if the surrounding culture
accepts and leaves high risk college drinking
practices unexamined and unchallenged. Do your departments’ formal and
informal alcohol policies and practices promote or abet alcohol problems?
Use this quick survey and discussion
guide to focus your departments’ review.
