Healthy Relationships. Healthy Choices.
Critical Life Skills for New Students
WSSU wants to work together with you to create a fun, healthy and vibrant campus community. As part of that commitment, we require all incoming students to complete Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates, AlcoholEdu, Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention, Mental Well-Being, and Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. These non-opinionated, research-based courses that provide a unique learning experience regarding important prevention skills and strategies.
In Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates, students learn about the elements of healthy relationships, the importance of sexual consent, and the role of bystanders in creating safe, healthy communities. Whether or not you drink, AlcoholEdu empowers students to make well-informed decisions and provides some simple strategies to help keep you and your friends safe. Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention prepares students to identify signs of abuse and addiction and equips learners with tactics for refusal and bystander intervention. This diversity orientation will introduce key concepts within the diversity and inclusion space. Concepts such as inclusion, power, privilege, identities, and communication are covered as well as strategies related to ally behavior, self-care, and creating inclusive spaces
