FACULTY IMPACT THROUGH CURRICULUM INFUSION

Curriculum Infusion is the process of integrating substance abuse revention content into courses that are regularly offered across the curriculum. Faculty have substantial potential for impacting student attitudes and behavior, including attitudes and behavior toward alcohol and other drugs. Curriculum Infusion is not a arogram that provides speakers on substance abuse for courses, nor is it a program where drug prevention staff or student peers speak in classes when the faculty are absent. Faculty-designed prevention content may comprise a two or three week unit of a course, or the substance abuse prevention content may be woven thematically throughout a course.
