U of A Issues Annual Alcohol and Other Drug Policy Notification for Students, Faculty and Staff

The University of Arkansas encourages all members of the U of A community to familiarize themselves with the annual Alcohol and Other Drug Policy notification, which can be found here.

"We strive to provide a teaching and learning environment that supports healthy choices, and fosters student and employee success," said Asher Morgan, alcohol and other drug specialist in the Pat Walker Health Center. "Sometimes the choices that confront people are decisions about the use of alcohol and other substances.
