The grant will be used to support Albright College’s ongoing efforts to combat underage drinking and promote responsible alcohol consumption by those of legal drinking age.
Albright College has been selected as a recipient of a 2022-2024 Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Reducing Underage Drinking and Dangerous Drinking Grant in the amount of $36,950.
Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board‘s Bureau of Alcohol Education works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, community groups and licensees.
Albright’s grant will be used to support the college’s ongoing efforts to combat underage drinking and promote responsible alcohol consumption by those of legal drinking age.
In addition to educational campaigns about short and long-term risks of excessive alcohol use, the project will build on successful interactive activities and training programs focused on the reduction of underage drinking. Alcohol awareness training for campus influencers will be provided for resident assistants and student leaders across campus representing Greek life, student organizations and athletics.
Interactive on-campus activities that help students learn about the physical impact of drinking on coordination and safety include Drunk Buster pedal cars and Fatal Vision Drunk Goggles. Alcohol-free social and recreational events coordinated by grant-funded resource officers also include alcohol awareness trivia games and stress-reducing therapy dogs.
