Originally formed in 1983 as the Inter-Association Task Force for Alcohol/Other Substance Abuse Issues (IATF), CoHEASAP (Coalition of Higher Education Associations for Substance Abuse Prevention) has served as the leading, independent voice on this critical student issue, and has represented a coalition of 20 different higher education associations for over 25 years. Throughout CoHEASAP's history, National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW) has served as one of the most recognized and successful programs sponsored by CoHEASAP. CoHEASAP also sponsored a comprehensive NCAAW awards program with support from the U.S. Department of Education, the beverage industry, and federal and state government partners.
To continue this legacy, the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors is proud to sponsor the AFA/CoHEASAP Award for Outstanding Alcohol/Other Drug Prevention Program. This award annually recognizes an outstanding campus and/or inter/national organization for its efforts in broad-based alcohol/other drug prevention efforts and the impacts they have had.
Two awards will be available for distribution each year; one to a campus and one to an inter/national fraternity/sorority and the program must have occurred in the preceding academic year.
