The AOD Prevention Specialist works with students to educate them about the myths, facts and dangers of alcohol and drug abuse.
If you choose to drink, we want you to be safe. If others around you drink, we want you to know how to recognize the symptoms of alcohol poisoning or a drug overdose so you can get help for the person.
The AOD Prevention Specialist, Kara Anderson, provides assessment and counseling services to students who violate the College’s alcohol and drug policies.
