SAFETY TIPS

ALCOHOL & DRUGS

Alcohol and other drug abuse can lead to life-altering consequences that include regrettable decisions, lost academic potential, arrest and serious harm to self and others. That’s why the Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS) is dedicated to cultivating an educational environment that is free of the harmful effects of alcohol and drug abuse.

DPSS works together with the University Health Service to promote education and resources that help students achieve their academic potential and avoid the harmful consequences of alcohol and drug abuse. UHS offers support and many educational resources to help you make informed choices.

According to Wolverine Wellness director Mary Jo Desprez, “Alcohol and other drug harm cannot be solved by law enforcement alone, but it’s a critical part of ensuring the health and safety for our entire community. That’s why DPSS is one of our strongest partnerships.”
