Establish a training program for Faculty to help them identify and address issues of concern with students at risk, as well as appropriate responses to student behaviors and comments in class which enhance a drinking environment . Request the Provost appoint a team of core faculty members who could explore what information faculty need with regard to this issue and further develop a short workshop, with the assistance of the Director of Wellness Programs, to address situations which arise in class. Professors, at times, need to address these issues. Support a new University Center that would draw students and house social and recreational activities for students during the hours students are looking for things to do. This location would also develop into the information hub.
Students consistently say there is nothing to do .
Additionally they seek to get out of their immediate environment. They are in their rooms all too often and do seek social situations and outlets. Students are searching for things to do. A central location which houses several social and recreational opportunities may meet the needs of students. This endeavor needs to remain at the top of the University s agenda to provide better a better location for students to congregate in a social setting.
