The SmartMoveUCCS Team on Wellness Wagon Day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Office of the Dean of Students, in collaboration with the Wellness Promotion team, hosted a week of educational events during National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week from October 16-20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day focused on a different theme related to educational topics, such as alcohol facts, alcohol\u2019s relationship with consent, partying smart, drunk driving prevention and sobriety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In alignment with educational outcomes for the Office of the Dean of Students, messaging for the \u201cSmartMove: Alcohol Awareness Week\u201d events were approached from a harm reduction lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harm reduction education strategies aim to minimize the negative consequences associated with alcohol and drug use by providing practical, non-judgmental and evidence-based information to empower individuals to make safer choices and reduce potential harm to themselves and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SmartMove: Alcohol Awareness Week provided tools and encouraged students to continue their healthy behaviors when it comes to drinking. Students could participate in a variety of educational activities as well as receive free t-shirts, cups, highlighters and more. Nearly 280 students participated in the week of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the most recent American College Health Association (ACHA) National College Health Assessment survey conducted at UCCS, 88% of students who choose to drink engage in moderate drinking, 85% don\u2019t binge drink and over 2,000 students choose not to drink alcohol or have never had alcohol. This means that a large majority of our students are already making safe, smart and responsible decisions about alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
