We are being taken seriously by the students, even in our first semester. I think we will be even a more pro-active group in the future. Students on campus are more apt to take a message if it comes from peers than if I was speaking to the houses. The students are vital to our educational efforts. Gries said they have plenty of people to give the educational presentations, so they should not have to turn any requests down.
Students are eager to talk about the issues.
Gries, Heitzman and Mike Lund, a junior in agricultural studies and Tim Coughennower, a freshman in liberal arts and sciences, will give a presentation on creating or revitalizing substance abuse education programs in the greek community. The group has been operating without a budget, but IFC recently approved some funding. We are a major resource in getting the programs out there and creating an awareness of issues.
