College Presidents

"Universities are often afraid to reveal that they have a problem with alcohol, although everyone knows it anyway. But we've seen important benefits from focusing on the problem and taking a tough stand. Applications are up, student quality is up, more students are participating in activities like drama and music, and alumni giving has increased. I know that support for the University has grown with our reputation for taking strong ethical positions and sticking with them."

Robert L. Carothers
President
University of Rhode Island

Teacher Pointing to Class

Even in the face of political complexities, incomplete research data, and time constraints, you, as a president, are in a critical position to influence the social atmosphere of your campus.

As the chief executive of your institution, you can make informed decisions to improve the health and safety of your students and be a catalyst for new research-based programs that will benefit future efforts.

A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking At U.S. Colleges, the final report of the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, provides science-based information and solutions to assist you in changing the drinking culture on your campus.
