WHAT IS TRU – THE REAL U?

The Real U is a collaborative effort bringing together Evansville’s three unique colleges and the community to reduce high-risk drinking among students. Ivy Tech Community College, the University of Evansville, and the University of Southern Indiana contribute greatly to the quality of life in Evansville and Vanderburgh County, but they also share in the region’s problems, sometimes tragically. Just last year, two students were killed in an alcohol-related accident involving both USI and Ivy Tech students.

The consequences of high-risk drinking can be costly, but they do not have to be inevitable. By working together, The Real U coalition hopes to change perceptions, norms, and behaviors and ultimately, save lives and dollars.

OUR MISSION

to work collaboratively to reduce high-risk drinking and its consequences among college students and college-bound high school students.

Funding for e-Chug comes from the Vanderburgh Community Foundation.
