March 3, 2012
Ivy Tech Community College will hold its first Alcohol Awareness Day Monday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Connie and Steve Ferguson Academic Building.
The school is hosting Alcohol Awareness Day during the spring semester with the hope of educating students about problematic use prior to spring break.
Psychology faculty and students will host a variety of events, including a demonstration in which participants will wear goggles that simulate intoxication, and then experience different field sobriety activities such as walking a straight line and tossing a ball. Students also will learn about serving sizes and calculate their personal blood alcohol level in relation to various drink sizes.
A screening instrument will be available for students to take that will assess their personal level of drinking, and counselors will be on hand to discuss the results of the screening in an individual and confidential manner.
