Holistic Wellness plans alcohol related activities throughout the academic year.  Typically, alcohol awareness weeks occur in October (National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week), December (National Drunk and Drugged Driving Month), and April (National Alcohol Awareness Month).  Other activities may occur at different times as well.

The Coalition for Kickin’ It Responsibly is a coalition made up of faculty, staff, students, and community members.  The Coalition's mission is to promote a campus and community environment that encourages legal and responsible behavior regarding the use of alcohol and discourages the use of other drugs.

Furthermore, the Student Wellness Council assist in alcohol awareness programming throughout the year. These students provide ideas and suggestions for future events and help coordinate the upcoming programs.
