The Team Up to Prevent
Impaired Driving Programming Manual is Here!
This new campaign addresses the importance of educating students
about the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol
or drugs and how to program, throughout the year, to prevent
impaired driving. The first weekend back to campus, Halloween,
homecoming, finals week, and graduation can all be events
and activities that are high-risk for increased alcohol use
and impaired driving. The Team Up to Prevent Impaired Driving
Campaign includes a programming manual, posters, pamphlets
and promotional items to help campuses plan a comprehensive,
year-round program to reduce drinking and driving. Click here to
