In July 2017, DEA launched www.campusdrugprevention.gov to
support drug abuse prevention programs on college campuses. The website was
created as a one-stop resource for professionals working to prevent drug abuse
among college students, including educators, student health centers, and
student affairs personnel. In addition, it serves as a useful tool for college
students, parents, and others involved in campus communities.
“Colleges and universities play an important role in
preventing drug abuse among their students,” said Acting Administrator Robert
W. Patterson. “DEA is honored to be recognized by the NAGC for its efforts to
provide higher education professionals who focus on prevention with the
information and tools they need to ensure the health and safety of their
students.”
CampusDrugPrevention.gov offers valuable information,
including data and research, news updates, publications, national and statewide
conferences and events, prevention contacts and resources available from DEA
and its federal partners. The website also includes a “Help a Friend” resource
to educate and prepare for those who plan to talk to their friends or loved
ones about drug use concerns.
The NAGC’s Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards is an annual
international awards program that recognizes superior government communication
products and those who produce them.
