The FLCC Campus-Community Coalition will be viewed as a
community resource for mitigating negative drug and alcohol
behaviors of youth and young adults.
Based on responses to college surveys. Student Health
Services, Campus Safety & Judicial Affairs, directors, peer
health educators, and 1 other employee will participate in
implement Coalition strategies.
The Coalition will host at least 2 community events. [KL]
Objectives:
1) Correct 18-25 year old student misperceptions,
reinforce norms and personal protective behaviors
for alcohol use based on the National College
Health Assessment (college population-based
data) using the CCAA social norms campaign
(SNM) and
2) Create an atmosphere of deterrence for underage
alcohol use through increased publicity and
enforcement of laws regarding underage alcohol
use and consistent enforcement of disciplinary
actions associated with policy violations.
