This year, the Counseling Center is hosting a free Campus Alcohol Screening Day to help identify at-risk drinking on campus, Thursday, April 14. Anonymous, free alcohol screenings are available online. The process will only take a few minutes. After completing a screening, students receive referral information on where they can go to discuss their results or any other concerns.  

While many believe alcohol is a normal part of college life, social drinking can quickly develop into at-risk drinking. Often students think that because they don’t drink every day or feel like they need to drink, their alcohol use is safe. However, this year the staff at the Counseling Center wants students to know that you don’t have to have an alcohol problem to have a problem with alcohol. 

“When students engage in extreme or high-risk drinking, they are not only negatively affecting their health, they are also more likely to put themselves in risky situations that could be harmful to themselves or others, and may inadvertently cause death” said Joan McCool, director of the Counseling Center.
