Great American Smokeout--TODAY

Happy Great American Smokeout! Today we celebrate the people who have made the brave and life-saving decision to transition to a life free of tobacco.

Those who quit for today’s 24 hour period will need support to keep the healthy lifestyle change moving. Please take the time to connect with those who are quitting and offer your assistance, whether it’s directing them to nicotine replacement medications, checking in on their quit attempt progress, or just offering up words of encouragement.

Speaking of...the White House released this short video congratulating those making a quit attempt:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/17/president-obama-congratulations-everyone-taking-part-todays-great-american-smokeout

And don’t forget: BACCHUS is here to help campuses make the move to tobacco free and to better promote cessation.

Thanks again for all you do to make campuses healthier and safer places!

The Tobacco Team at BACCHUS

More Wellness, Less Waste: BACCHUS Goes Green

As you may have noticed, The BACCHUS Network has become more “green” over the past few months. The Sexual Responsibility Week and Safe Spring Break campaigns were delivered electronically. The Peer Educator™ magazine is now an online, interactive publication. BACCHUS monthly updates and the quarterly newsletter from your Student Advisory Committee member arrived in your email box using Constant Contact. A paper version of the annual charter renewal form was not mailed out this year but is available to be filled out quickly and easily on the BACCHUS website.

You, our members, have encouraged us to reduce our use of paper and we listened. The response from our Network has been overwhelmingly positive. In fact, we have had one of the highest early return rates of charter renewal forms in our history.

Because it has been so well received, you will be seeing more electronic delivery of BACCHUS materials and communications including information about General Assembly registration, call for programs, and awards applications, and NCAAW campaign materials. Be sure you are receiving these timely notifications by
