The Prevention Resource Center, a division of the Student Development Center, utilizes research-based strategies aimed at correcting misperceptions that encourage inappropriate behaviors associated with abuse of alcohol and other substances. The Prevention Resource Center provides information, activities and events designed to create a healthy campus community and support a culture that empowers students to act in accordance with their healthy attitudes and values.
