National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW)
Dear BACCHUS Network Peer Educators and Advisors,
Welcome to the 2007 National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW)
Resource Guide and Programming Manual!
Every year, The BACCHUS Network™ strives to provide our peer educator
affiliates with resources they can use to create quality educational programming and innovative
health awareness events on campus. This year is no different. This programming manual is
a vital part of our RU Connected Campaign Kit that has arrived on your campus.
In this manual, you will find the following resources designed to help
with NCAAW programming and year round alcohol abuse prevention efforts:
- Ideas for using the promotional items in the RU Connected Campaign Kit
- Latest reports from the field on the alcohol abuse issue from the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and Promising Practices
- Strategies on using social norming as part of your NCAAW efforts
- Information and statistics on various aspects of the alcohol abuse issue and how it relates to
topics ranging from impaired driving to sexual health decision making
- Programming ideas from other campuses that you can use as part of your NCAAW educational
initiatives
- Tips for fundraising
- Resources for more information on alcohol and other health related topics
- Winners of the 2006 NCAAW Awards Competition sponsored by the Inter-Association Task Force on
Alcohol and Other Substance Abuse Issues (IATF)
National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, a strong foundation for
fall programming, is observed each year during the third full week in October (October 21–27
this year). This particular time may not work for your campus, so feel free to choose a time
that best meets your needs.
It is certainly possible that you have already chosen a theme for your
campus NCAAW programming. If so, we hope the items provided to you in the campaign kit will
be helpful as a supplement to what you have already planned. We also invite you to use the
RU Connected theme, which highlights students helping each other to make smart decisions that
protect their health and safety.
In addition to the many resources available in the RU Connected Campaign
Kit, we have a large number of additional resources, articles, and strategies available on our
website at www.bacchusnetwork.org.
We wish you the best of luck with your alcohol awareness programming.
