Intervention by Integration
Here are some ideas discussed during Dr. Wesley Perkins' visit:
- Invite the ATOD coordinator into your classroom. He can tailor
the message specifically to your curriculum. You could even
invite him to speak on a day you're planning to be out of town
so you don't have to cancel a class.
- Invite the ATOD coordinator to speak to your club. The Social
Norms message can be tied into every major...Aviation, Early
Childhood, anything that involves management...You name it!
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs effect people in every business,
occupation, and major.
- Suggest to your advisees to take the Alcohol and College
Life course being offered in Spring 2004.
- Do not change the date of an assignment or test because you
think students will be too busy partying and not studying.
They are adults and they need to learn how to manage their
time. They can take tests every day of the week.
- Do not joke about "big parties." House parties is where the
majority of illegal activities take place. We support responsible
choices, not illegal activities.
- Make it clear to students that you do not accept poor performance.
Academics needs to be a priority over social activities.
