Alcohol and Substance Misuse

The negative implications of alcohol and substance misuse or abuse can impact an individual’s health and decision-making, relationships, academic performance and future goals. Contributing factors to alcohol and substance use include stress, a belief that all students are engaging in those behaviors and a lack of accurate information about alcohol and substances, as well as misinformation about the consequences of their use.

Hazing Education and Prevention

BGSU seeks to promote a safe environment so members of our learning community may participate in experiences and activities without compromising their health, well-being, dignity and/or rights. Hazing can cause irreparable harm to victims, victims’ families and the University community. BGSU has zero tolerance for any form of hazing.
