Episode Description
We hear the horror stories that come from the misuse of alcohol and other drugs on college campuses, but is that a realistic portrayal of what is actually happening? Dr. John Clapp is the Director of The Higher Education Center based at the Ohio State University. The Center addresses alcohol and other drug education, prevention, and recovery issues as they relate to today's college campuses. On this show we will talk about how alcohol education has evolved over the years and what new steps are being taken to help students. We will also address how college recovery has finally found a voice in higher education and where this issue stands and where it is headed.
