Most of our students make great choices and decisions while at Ohio University. They study hard, make friends, get involved, prepare themselves for life and career, and are responsible citizens. They take advantage of the opportunities available to them and make great contributions to the University and Athens communities.
But, because we care about students’ health and safety, students’ academic success, and the welfare of our campus and community, we are concerned about those students who make poor choices – those who choose to drink excessively, or in a high-risk way.
High-risk drinking is the excessive consumption of alcohol that leads to serious negative consequences, not only for those who are drinking but for others around the person drinking. The negative consequences include academic failure, accidents, falls, fights, injuries, sexual assaults, vandalism, arrests and community disruption.
We are committed to doing all that we can to help every student and our community avoid these types of consequences.
For more information on our efforts to reduce high risk drinking, contact the Office of Health Promotion at 740-593-4742 or koons@ohio.edu. | | Part of a student developed social marketing campaign, these student-produced videos address high risk alcohol consumption. Learn more about The Buzz. |
