Feedback from 2007 Prom Presentations

“I do feel it was beneficial – the feedback I received from students was quite positive in nature”

“…outstanding job of presenting the problems associated with underage drinking”

“It was … relevant with good and local examples that gave meaning to the message, and I know that for many, if not most students it had an impact on their future decision making.”

“I hope that we can have another program next year prior to prom”

“Students are saying that the information they gained … has caused them to have second thoughts about the after-prom parties.”

“Overall, I do believe that people were affected and took the time to stop and think about what kind of choices they will be faced with-especially this upcoming weekend.”
