Students will participate in a session titled “Be Yourself … Protect What’s Next” will address alcohol and marijuana’s impact on the brain; the signs and symptoms of alcohol overdose and what steps to take to prevent it; the importance of being an active bystander; and knowing how substance use can impact your future goals.
The evening discussion will include an edibles demonstration and address what’s changed related to marijuana and what can be done about it.
