Learning Opportunities

The Higher Education Center provides a variety of training opportunities in alcohol and other drug abuse and violence (AODV) prevention. The Center's core training program—the training progression, which consists of two modules, "Building Momentum for Creating Environmental Change" and "Moving to Action: Creating Environmental Change"—allows teams composed of campus representatives and community leaders to work together and learn best practices for coalition-based environmental management approaches to prevention.

In addition to its training progression, the Center conducts a variety of training modules targeting specific topics in AODV prevention. Together, the training programs provide an integrated series of opportunities for campus and community teams to learn about and plan to create cultural change. These are not "talking heads" trainings, but are highly interactive and focused on skill-building so that participants can apply the principles and move to action immediately.
