Faculty Involvement in AOD Prevention
Faculty on many campuses are involved in their studentsà lives beyond the classroom, serving as advisors, dining with students, or inviting a group of students to their homes for an end of the semester celebration. This involvement encourages stronger connections between faculty and students and helps invest students in the academic life of their college. Faculty have many opportunities to get involved in AOD prevention, both in the classroom and in the broader campus community. Recent survey data from the Core Institute for Alcohol and Drug Prevention indicates, however, that while faculty are aware of and concerned about AOD issues, they are not as actively involved in campus prevention efforts as they could be. This article discusses ways in which faculty can become more actively involved in AOD prevention efforts, including intervention and treatment referral for students.
