Alcohol Awareness Week

Every October marks National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week and RESPECT takes advantage of this opportunity to remind students that alcohol is the number one date rape drug used to perpetrate drug-facilitated rape. Interactive exhibits and “walk-abouts” are created that actively engage students in health promoting behaviors and raise their awareness about sexual assault. Attitudes about rape are challenged as students interact in fun and games designed to challenge their thinking about the myths and realities of rape, the role of alcohol in rape, and strategies for reducing risk.
