One of the panels was focused on the “RU SURE” campaign, at Rutger’s University, against alcohol abuse had many great points especially for college students. The panel was presented during the third session, and provided a lot of information regarding underage drinking and Rutger’s initiative to work against alcohol abuse by college students. The student filled panel focused on the campaign that has even gotten national recognition from the Department of Education for its success against an issue that is so prevalent on college campuses. They group of organizations in “RU SURE” also work to teach students how they can regret decisions they make while under the influence of alcohol, a side effect many do not think about.
