Our Approach
We prefer that underage UNL students abstain from alcohol and those age 21 or older drink moderately and safely, if at all. But the reality is that many underage students drink and a portion of students drink more much than is safe regardless of their age. We work to help students move safely through this "window of risk," using a risk-reduction approach.
For students not interested in abstaining, we provide information and skills to help reduce the amount they drink and the negative consequences they experience. By using this new information and new set of skills, UNL students will be more likely to make alcohol choices safer for them and others near them.
Fewer UNL students use illicit drugs, but some still do. To those students, our message is clear: It is in your best interest to stop.
