Alcohol & Other Drug Education receives $9700 Grant
For the third consecutive year the Valdosta State University
Office of Alcohol and Drug Education has received a grant from the
Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS). The amount of this
year's grant is $9,700 which will be used to purchase brochures and
videos to increase the resources available to students.
The focus of the grant is to increase awareness regarding driving
under the influence of alcohol and seat belt usage. The grant will
also allow the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Education to
continue to use peer education students to attend training
conferences sponsored by GOHS and Bacchus Gamma Peer Education
Network, which is a university and community network founded in
1975 at the University of Florida that focuses on good decisions
that will lead to a safe and healthy lifestyle.
The Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Education also sponsors the
annual Alcohol Awareness Fair at VSU.
