The Drug/Alcohol Awareness peer educators are currently meeting and training for a few activities for the month of March and also for the CORE survey, a national survey designed to measure students' habits in the use of alcohol and drugs.
The group, now known as TRASH (Teaching Responsible Alcohol Substance and Highway Safety), will poll 10 percent of the student population, about 350 students in Georgia Highlands College during certain FCST classes, PE 1010 classes and possibly psychology and sociology classes.
The members of TRASH will attend the Regional Convention Area Conference of Baccus and Gamma at Freeman University in Greenville, S. C., Feb. 25 through Feb. 27.
TRASH and John Spranza, director of student life, have Safe Spring Break Week planned for March 14 through March 18, the week before Spring Break, and will feature the members of TRASH speaking to students on alcohol, drug and seat belt awareness.
