Check out the following programs being offered by the YSB:

College 101:

A last ditch effort to reinforce the things you need to remember before you start college next year.  Join us for a 90 minute presentation where you will learn about situational awareness from a local law enforcement officer, hear real life accounts from first responders about a typical night in a college town, discuss the link between alcohol and serious physical injurious and sexual assault, and learn/reinforce your ability to recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning so you can be the one in your dorm who knows when to call for help.  

​July 25, 2017  7 to 8:30 PM at the YSB
