Core Survey
Alcohol use and abuse... attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. What do Carroll students have to say? What do college students across the nation have to say? The national collegiate CORE Alcohol and Other Drug Survey tells all. Every odd-numbered year, Carroll administers the CORE Survey to a representative sample of students to hear what they have to say about alcohol, their beliefs and attitudes, and their behaviors. As part of the analysis, we compare Carroll's survey results with the national results. The information from the survey guides the College in program and policy development, such as the development of the "Arrive Alive" drinking and driving prevention program, organizing more activities on weekends as an alternative to drinking, the education program "AlcoholEdu for College", and alcohol policies for Carroll sponsored events such as "Softball Weekend" and the "Junior-Senior Dance." So look for a CORE Survey coming your way; you may be selected to tell us about Carroll, alcohol, you and your fellow students.
Weekly Clinic with Nurse Practitioner
Our Nurse Practitioner, Denise Smigaj, FNP, takes appointments every Tuesday afternoon (1:30-6 PM) to see students who may need further evaluations or prescriptions. Please call for an appointment, as her time tends to fill up fast. Thanks!
