The Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE) of the State of Montana partnered with Vector Solutions, a company whose mission is to help students address critical life skills such as alcohol abuse prevention, sexual assault prevention, and financial literacy. Each year more than 500,000 students complete these online courses. All of EverFi's programs deliver an effective means for helping students practice safe and healthy choices. They also provide participants with a common baseline of knowledge and awareness of alcohol issues and strengthen a shared set of campus norms and expectations around alcohol use and sexual assault awareness.

AlcoholEdu is a confidential, online alcohol prevention program used by more than 500 college and university campuses nationwide. This Population-Level Prevention program is designed to challenge students' expectations about alcohol while enabling them to make healthy and safe decisions.

Whether or not a student drinks alcohol, the program will empower them to make well-informed decisions about alcohol, link their choices about drinking/not drinking to academic and personal success, and help them better cope with the drinking behavior of peers

This course will collect critical data on student attitudes and behaviors toward alcohol–including students' readiness to change their behavior, what protective factors or high-risk factors they exhibit, and what expectations they have toward alcohol. All of this data will help us better understand and meet the needs of our students. 

Vector will notify us when our student's aggregate AlcoholEdu results are available. We will be able to compare our data to other data sets, including  AlcoholEdu national aggregate data and data from peer institutions also using the course.

We have coordinated across various departments to create an AlcoholEdu Team. This team will continue to collaborate after this initial implementation period to help reinforce key concepts, evaluate current services and programs and create discussion opportunities with students as they face many decisions during their transition into college.

The training is located in the Curry Health Center or online Via Zoom. You can visit the SARC office through the East Entrance, up the stairs and through the first door on the left. From there someone will direct you to the room that the training will be located.
