Alcohol and Other Drug Office (AODO)

The Alcohol and Other Drug Office is a department of the Counseling Center with collaborative sponsors that include McKinley Health Center. Our mission is to provide focus and structure to facilitate appropriate efforts in order to assess and address problems and drug use on campus with the intent to protect the students' health, safety, and academic success. All appointments are confidential.

We are located at McKinley Health Center, Room 333 and are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (with voice mail after 5:00 p.m. daily). AOD prevention programs are available evenings and weekends. If you would like to request an alcohol education workshop please fill out the online Alcohol and Other Drug Outreach Request form.
