Awareness Team)
The S.W.A.T. Team - a BACCHUS
affiliate
Healthy students achieve better academic success and increased productivity.
They also have a more enjoyable college experience. With this in mind,
the University of Toledo commissioned it's own S.W.A.T Team: Student Wellness
Awareness Team. The S.W.A.T. Team is a group of student leaders who facilitate
Fun, Dynamic, interactive educational programs on health and wellness
issues that affect college students.
Warning! Warning! These are not lectures.
These trained student leaders hold a National Certification
from the BACCHUS & GAMMA Peer Education Network. The UT S.W.A.T. Team
members also receive academic credit for serving in this leadership position.
Sexual Assault Education and Prevention Program
(SAEPP)
The SAEPP sponsors many campus
activities to educate and inform students about sexual assault issues.
Binge Drinking
In America today there are over 12 million people aged
19-24 who are enrolled in a University or College. Studies show that 89.9%
of those young students drink alcohol with the majority being under the
legal drinking age of 21 years old. Today alcohol has become such a dangerous
element in our society and especially for our young people that we feel
that by educating our young people about the cold hard facts of alcohol
we can prevent our UT students from becoming another alcohol related statistic.
This project has been funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Alcohol
and Drug Addiction Services.
