Hi We, here at the CAAPC, are looking at using today's technology to spread awareness about alcohol-related issues. This website goes a long way in that direction. Whether you are a student, parent, faculty member or just about anyone wanting to know more about the Alcohol related issues at Virginia Tech, this is the one-stop destination to all your questions and the information you seek. We soon plan to make this website interactive, and students who enroll in our educational classes will be able to do much more than what this static version has to offer. Please send in your feedback to caapc@vt.edu, we would love to hear from you, and improve the website, as well as our alcohol abuse prevention efforts in any way we can. Thanks, |
This website is another step in Virginia Tech's effort to reduce high-risk drinking and alcohol-related negative consequences. It is designed and maintained by the CAAPC (Campus Alcohol Abuse Prevention Center, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA).
