National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (October 19-25).

Keep your eyes and ears open this fall for the Make Good Decisions (MGD) campaign.
So what's special about it? The program is by UWM students for UWM students. MGD involves training UWM student leaders and groups to become experts in the areas of alcohol use and student safety issues. Armed with this expertise, these students are reaching out to their peers, especially those living in the neighborhoods surrounding UWM. Their goal is to educate students regarding safe drinking practices for those of age who choose to drink.
What's in it for students? Students who adopt one or more of the MGD practices may find that their evenings socializing are more enjoyable and result in fewer hassles (e.g. fewer hangovers, underage drinking tickets, parties visited by police, getting robbed). Pay attention to campaign information passed on by peers, posted on the campaign webpage (www.makegooddecisions.uwm.edu), or distributed in numerous giveaways.
Where can I get more information? Visit www.makegooddecisions.uwm.edu for additional details about MGD, tips for safer drinking, a BAC calculator and more. To get more information or to sign up for training contact Sarah Belstock at belstock@uwm.edu.
The MGD campaign is sponsored in part by a $5000 grant from the WI DOT.
