Forum Agenda

The U.S. Department of Education and the Network of Colleges and Universities Committed to the Elimination of Drug and Alcohol Abuse host this daylong National Forum for campus chief executives and other senior administrators. We welcome presidents, chancellors, trustees, vice presidents, deans, and major unit directors to join in this collegial meeting with peers to consider leadership strategies for promoting safe and healthy learning and living environments.

Today’s Forum addresses issues associated with alcohol, other drugs, and violence. Topics include findings from a three-year study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), integration of prevention within student affairs programming, legal issues (risk perception and reduction, liability, and compliance with relevant Federal mandates), vantages from the Network’s newly impaneled Council of Advisors, and an update from the U.S. Department of Education.

The Network and the Department salute your leadership in creating and sustaining safe, healthy, and learning-conducive environments at your campuses and in the communities in which your campuses are situated.. We are grateful to Gina Firth, University of Notre Dame, who chairs this year’s National Forum, and to the expert presenters who readily accepted invitations to discuss their experiences and forecasts with you.
