Peers Advocating Substance Safety (P.A.S.S.)

Mission

Peer educators trained in this area share information regarding alcohol and other drugs with our peers in order to encourage Villanovans to make healthy, informed choices based on accurate information and an examination of their goals and values. Our objective is to be seen as both peers and resources on campus, encouraging an environment that promotes respect for the self and others.

What We Do

We create interactive and passive programs to spread knowledge and assist the Villanova community in making responsible decisions regarding alcohol and other drugs in their personal lives. In October, we sponsor National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Month, featuring several activities to raise awareness about those affected by alcohol and other drugs.
