DID YOU KNOW?
A new program all UofL incoming freshmen are being required to take could keep them from falling into a pattern of poor decisions—or worse. AlcoholEdu/Haven is a web-based alcohol and sexual assault prevention program designed to help college students balance their new freedom away from home with their need to establish a healthy and safe lifestyle as young adults. A UofL task force spent three years researching similar programs and chose this one because it uses the latest prevention techniques and science-based research. AlcoholEdu/Haven is used at 500 institutions nationwide including four others in Kentucky: Murray State, Centre, Bellarmine and UK. Students began receiving the online materials this week.
