AlcoholEdu® for College

WSU Health Promotion

Student Health Services

Welcome to Winona State University!

The faculty and staff of Winona State University share a commitment to your success in and out of the classroom. Your personal and professional development, and that of your peers, is the cornerstone of a partnership that will last during your years here and beyond. It is an exciting journey on which we are embarking together.

As you well know, alcohol is a significant issue in the lives of students in both high school and college and throughout our lives. Whether you choose to abstain from alcohol entirely or not, it is an influence in our lives and in the lives of our family and friends. WSU has joined with many top schools in the country in adopting AlcoholEdu for College as a component of our alcohol prevention initiative. This is not an over-simplified, lecture style diatribe about the use of alcohol. Rather, it is a thoughtful, educated, and educating program for adults committed to considering their life choices.

Your physical and emotional health, now and throughout your life will serve as a critical foundation for your intellect and creativity. And, as always, your commitment to yourself comes with a shared commitment to the health and welfare of others. You will have a special opportunity to impact the lives of your peers in positive and productive ways, and we are committed to helping you do so in any way that we can.

To this end, we strongly encourage every new incoming WSU student to take AlcoholEdu for College.

Winona State University is deeply committed to the health, welfare, and ultimate success and happiness of all members of our community. We hope that you find the course helpful and instructive on this important journey.

Sincerely,

Dr. Connie Gores                                                                 Kelli McClintick, MPH, CHES
