The program is part of National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week from Oct. 19-24.
Texas Tech University will participate in National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week starting Oct. 19. The events will end Oct. 24 with a Pack the Jones Watch Party for the Texas Tech – Oklahoma game. The week is hosted by several on-campus departments including Student Union & Activities, Risk Intervention & Safety Education (RISE) and University Student Housing.
“My goal is to find a way to show the campus is coming together to support safety around alcohol use at Texas Tech,” said Claire Maginness, assistant director for student activities. “National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is an initiative to showcase as many resources as possible on campus to show the students and student organizations the faculty and staff at Texas Tech care about alcohol-free programming and their safety.”
