NCAAW 2000

Too often, we spend time "re-creating the wheel" in developing our programs. If anything has been developed in the years since NCAAW was started, it is that there are now a wide variety of educational materials and promotional efforts to support campus campaigns. For example, The BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network has a very comprehensive set of educational pamphlets, posters, booklet and videos all targeted specifically for the collegiate audience. And, this is just the beginning.
