The university focuses on building campus culture to include personal responsibilities, scholarship and citizenship, while educating students about health and safety hazards of high-risk substance use. As such, OSARP uses four strategies (“The Big Four”) to address alcohol and other drug use in our campus community, both on and off-campus, with the goal to provide education, learning, and consistent accountability in order to promote student success.

Additionally, resources are available throughout the university and the City of Harrisonburg/Rockingham County communities to assist students who may need additional support regarding the use or abuse of alcohol or other drugs. Examples of campus programs include (these programs may be assigned as the result of an OSARP process, but self-referrals are encouraged and program fees are waived, if applicable):

• Wellness Coaching - Substance Misuse
• OSARP Substance Education Programs

Examples of Harrisonburg and local community programs include:
