Programs

Overview

Educational programs include peer outreach education, education and training for faculty and staff, and outreach to parents and alumni. Research employs the student-faculty collaborative research model which has been highly successful at UW - Eau Claire as a University of Wisconsin Center of Excellence.

In addition, CASE supports environmental change strategies including collaboration with law enforcement, city and county agencies, community leaders, neighborhood associations, the hospitality industry, media and local government. CASE supports the Bridge Campus-Community Coalition on Alcohol Issues in Eau Claire and represents UW - Eau Claire on the Consortium for Substance Abuse Prevention In Eau Claire County.

Lastly, CASE conducts surveys of student behavior such as the CORE Survey and UW System Survey, and disseminates results to aid in program planning.

Peer Outreach

The CASE Peer Educator team is involved in all aspects of CASE activities. They provide moderation skills training, maintain campus bulletin boards, coordinate activities and programs, and research and maintain information materials. They also facilitate the CHOICES Program.

Surveys of Student Alcohol and Other Drug Use

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire also conducts the CORE survey and UW System Administration survey. Results can be obtained by contacting CASE at (715) 836-5110. We hope to have an archive of results available on the CASE web site in the near future.
