CAMPUS HIGHLIGHTS
The Statewide Healthy Campus Initiative planning group first met in October 2004
to develop a statewide action plan to address alcohol and other drug use among
Connecticut's college students. To date, 25 campuses have been represented in
this initiative. Using examples from other successful states, the group began
to identify ways the state could expand its support of campus level alcohol and
other drug prevention activities. A statewide action plan was finalized this past
June.
