Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Education and Prevention Coalition
This University Coalition is comprised of students, alumni, faculty and staff representing
diverse constituencies from across the university, and external members of the community.
The Coalition provides many ATOD services, including assistance in the writing of

CPS has professional counselors available to work with students who have mental health
problems and issues associated with alcohol and/or drug misuse. CPS has counselors
who are designated as Substance Use Specialists and have been certified in Prime for
Life.
Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery (CYAAR)
The CYAAR has licensed professional counselors who specialize in addiction education,
prevention, counseling and recovery. The CYAAR provides a centralized office for ATOD
education and addiction prevention programs through outreach to high risk populations,
invitation by faculty and staff, as well as through individual counseling. The counselors
specializing in substance use and addiction teach alcohol and other drug classes for
students found responsible for alcohol and/or other drug related code of conduct violations
as mandated by the Department of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity. CPS and the
CYARR also perform in- house evaluations for alcohol and drug use. The CYAAR maintains
a list of referral agencies for off-campus assistance when such assistance is more
appropriate. CPS and CYAAR services are available to all enrolled students.
The CYAAR is home to multiple on-campus 12 step meetings per week, weekly Al- Anon
meetings, and a Celebration Recovery meeting where students in recovery share their
story with others. The CYAAR has developed an education workshop, Trends in Addiction,
Abuse, Use and Treatment, which has been presented in multiple major settings and
has trained peer educators to present about ATOD issues to a variety of classes. The
CYAAR educates and trains ATOD peer educators who in turn present to the general campus
population upon request.
