The CAUSE is a group of active and socially conscious students dedicated to helping educate peers and the surrounding community on the harmful effects of high-risk alcohol use. Through presentations to fellow students‚ campus-wide events such as Spring Break Safety Week and Alcohol Awareness Week‚ and Reality Check‚ this organization prides itself on the belief that college students don’t have to use alcohol to have fun. Although we do believe that abstaining from alcohol is the safest choice to make‚ we also focus on the safety of low-risk drinking if people choose to consume alcohol

missionstatement
Mission Statement
The mission of our office is to provide education and awareness that empowers students within the UK community to make safer and healthier lifestyle choices‚ particularly relating to alcohol use.
The Alcohol Education Office does not gear its messages toward anti–drinking.
We offer a variety of resources that encourage responsible decision–making (including abstinence) that are low–risk to our students and the surrounding community.
The Alcohol Education Office is located in Room 242 of the Johnson Center. Please feel free to stop by anytime! Find us on the campus map.
