National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Month (NCAAM)
Each year colleges and universities
across the country participate in National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Month.
The purpose of NCAAM is to educate the campus and student body about alcohol
abuse in hopes to prevent future tragedies and encourage responsible and healthy
decisions regarding alcohol consumption. We also recognize those whose
lives were affected due to alcohol abuse. Participate in NCAAM events at Villanova's campus:
Are You Smarter Than A Peer Educator?
Have you taken Alcoholedu and sat through endless alcohol presentations? Do
you think you know all there is to know, about alcohol… then join POWER to test
your knowledge in the game Are You Smarter Than A Peer Educator. The
winner will receive two tickets to a Men's Varsity Basketball Game. Free
Villanova t-shirts will be raffled off every 15 minutes and free "Tasty
Moctobers" during the game. Join us on Thursday, October 23 at the West
Lounge in Dougherty Hall.
Free Breakfast at the Oreo

educators will be providing snacks and facts for free on

Awareness Month. See you at the Oreo!
