Over the past years, it has become very clear; we cannot solve the nation’s alcohol and hazing issues by ourselves. Knowing this, we have established a key partnership to achieve our mission. During the summer of 2010, The Gordie Foundation will join forces and merge with The University of Virginia and form The Gordie Center for Alcohol and Substance Education.
Center for Alcohol and Substance Education at the University of Virginia
As a unit of the University of Virginia’s Office of the Dean of Students, CASE supports the mission of the University by fostering community to promote student learning, growth, and citizenship. CASE supports peer education and provides presentations and consultation in order to increase knowledge of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug issues, and decrease the negative consequences associated with high-risk drinking and illegal drug use among U.Va. students.
