Teaching Alcohol Abuse Prevention
Description: The purpose of this research-based program is to reach first year students within the first few weeks of arriving on campus and provide them with the information and skills to make more informed decisions regarding alcohol. The TAAP session is facilitated by 2 peers who present information to students in an entertaining and interactive way about their perceptions and expectations of alcohol use on campus. The program provides participants with strategies they can utilize to reduce their risk if they decide to consume alcohol. Students will also be made aware of the consequences of high risk drinking and strategies they can utilize to evaluate and act if they encounter a high risk situation (such as alcohol poisoning).

Dirt to Food
Building healthy communities from the ground up, Clemson Dirt to Food brings together the passion, skills and knowledge of a diverse group of Clemson students, faculty, staff and community members.
Our mission is to advance a culture of health and sustainability by connecting community members and creating opportunities to experience fresh, locally grown food.
Our goal is to create a vibrant local food system that provides the structure needed for members of our community to make healthier and more sustainable food choices.
We are working with several community members including the Littlejohn Community Center (LJCC) and Code Academy, a middle and high school for at-risk youth. We are also working to design and plant edible landscapes on campus. These garden projects serve as experiential learning laboratories as the participants plant, care for, harvest and prepare the produce they've grown. The Clemson Dirt to Food project will continue to work to build the social capital needed to make lasting change to our food system by focusing on improving the policies, systems and environments that encourage and facilitate a healthy and sustainable community.
