CASSAP Coalition
A resource operating within the Harbor Center, The Collegiate Alliance for Student Success and Prevention (CASSAP) works together with our campus community to prevent substance misuse and the negative outcomes of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use at Purchase College and the surrounding community.
CASSAP aims to improve student success and engagement in the college experience. CASSAP is made possible through the Environmental Prevention on College Campuses grant from the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS).
Clearly Genius
Clearly Genius is our social norms campaign that demonstrates that our Purchase Students create inspiring works without the use of substances. Each month, students can submit art in any medium to the contest for a chance to win a $50 Starbucks Gift Card. For an application, email clearlygenius@purchase.edu.
