This workshop addresses the number one issue that campuses
across the nation face...ALCOHOL! According to USA Today, 30% of
all college freshmen deaths were attributed to alcohol or drug
overdose. Last Call is the ground-breaking new program that looks
at the reality of alcohol and how it affects your campus as well as
the surrounding community. Through the use of eye opening visuals,
inspiring documentary footage and stories of personal tragedy and
triumphs over alcohol, the presenters will bend the alcohol
education curve into a whole new standard.
