April 5, 2012 is
National Alcohol Screening Day
Held annually on Thursday of the first full week of April, National Alcohol Screening Day is an outreach, education, and screening program that raises awareness about alcohol misuse and refers individuals with alcohol problems for further treatment. Thousands of colleges, community-based organizations, and military installations provide the program to the public each year.
While some college students may drink, more and more of them drink alcohol in ways that can place them and others at risk. NASD raises awareness, educates students about unhealthy drinking habits and offers them confidential alcohol screenings.
The screenings – offered online or in-person at NASD events -- are anonymous and confidential. Please click the link below to begin your screener:

About the Counseling Center
Helping students cope with the challenges and stresses in their daily lives, the Counseling Center is a confidential student-focused resource. Students grappling with a wide variety of challenges or questions make use of these counseling services every year. Among these challenges are depression, anxiety, problems in relationships, concerns about sexuality or sexual identity, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as issues of personal loss (death, divorce, or illness). Other issues are also dealt with at the Counseling Center, such as procrastination, lack of assertiveness, problems with eating or body image, and lack of motivation. The counseling staff consists of graduate level psychology interns and postdoctoral associates who work under the supervision of the director, a licensed clinical psychologist.
