American University’s Statement of Common Purpose says, “The central commitment of American University is to the development of thoughtful, responsible human beings in the context of a challenging yet supportive academic community.” Survey data collected on campus indicates that students’ alcohol and drug use can have a significant effect on their academic performance and on their living and learning environment.

Interventions that mitigate these negative effects and help students realize their academic potential are closely aligned with the university’s achievement of its educational objectives and its mission.

The university is committed to maintaining a healthy and safe community through education and intervention efforts for alcohol and other drugs.
