Our Mission
The CCC works to promote responsible decision-making about alcohol and other drug use.
We identify factors supporting high-risk and illegal drinking; analyze data; and implement proven and promising strategies to create positive change. Together, we seek to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of our communities.
Our History
University and community leaders, with support from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, came together to form the Campus and Community Coalition to Reduce High-Risk Drinking (CCC) in 2004.
