Alcohol and Our Learning Environment
Starting in fall 2008, University Health Services, along with a growing list of campus partners, has organized a free annual symposium open to faculty, staff, and students to discuss alcohol use in our campus environment. By gaining new perspectives from colleagues about this issue, we begin to move beyond the trope of UW-Madison as “just a party school” and benefit from the many creative and productive ways that faculty and staff engage with the alcohol conversation in their research and other work.
