Strategic Planning Goals Goal #5: Improve evaluation practices within programs and services including expectations for knowledge, skill, and behavioral changes Goal #6: Establish a communications plan and curriculum to share AODA-related data, prevention strategies, resources, and alcohol-free options for faculty, staff, and student employees
