Why is LSU requiring this for first-year students?--

There are numerous studies that show that the first few months of college are a very important time in the overall academic career of a student. In our experience at LSU, we have also observed that many of the alcohol-related disciplinary incidents occurring each semester involve first-year students. Additionally, in recent academic years we have had alcohol-related student fatalities, some of which might have been prevented if the victims or bystanders had been more knowledgable about alcohol. We offer this program in the hopes that it will reduce alcohol-related disciplinary incidents and other problems for first-year students here at LSU.
