The
Higher Education Center's purpose is to help college and community leaders
develop, implement, and evaluate programs and policies to reduce student
problems related to alcohol and other drug
use and interpersonal violence. The Center favors a comprehensive
approach to prevention. Central to this approach is a mix of environmental
management strategies to address the institutional, community,
and public policy factors that contribute to these problems. The
Center supports the development of a prevention infrastructure, primarily
by facilitating the work of statewide prevention initiatives and campus-community
coalitions. The Center provides trainings, technical assistance, and
publications to support these efforts. The Center also promotes
innovative program development to improve student education, campus-based
media campaigns (including social norms campaigns), early
intervention, treatment, and recovery strategies, and enforcement.
