Current Projects: Campus Alcohol Prevention Project

The Center for Addiction Studies has been using the Social Norms Approach for over a decade to reduce the amount of binge drinking on our campus. In this project, Rowan students were invited to participate in a survey about their drinking habits and what they thought about other Rowan students' drinking behaviors. The results of the survey showed a 10% reduction in high-risk drinking just in the first year of the program.

Did you know?

The amount of alcohol use on Rowan University's campus is actually less than what students perceive it to be. Most Rowan students drink 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 drinks when they party and do not binge drink when they go to the bar! This norm has been promoted back to the students via posters, giveaways, and events.

Twelve Steps

The Center for Addiction Studies offers weekly Twelve Step meetings that are open to the Rowan community. These meetings include Narcotics and Alcoholics Anonymous as well as a more general meeting called "Twelve Steps for Everyone."

Meeting Day Time Location

Twelve Steps for Everyone Will return in Fall 2008 TBD TBD
Smarter to be Sober (Alcoholics Anonymous) Will return in Fall 2008 TBD TBD
