The 2019-2020 AlcoholEdu for College module, completed by GW's first-year undergraduate and transfer students, provides baseline data that informs the GW Late Night initiative. The data highlighted behaviors among those that consume alcohol, and outlined the need for an initiative to mitigate these high risk drinking behaviors and to provide an alternative to drinking. The Student Life team works collaboratively together to plan fun, inclusive, and engaging GW Late Night events for the community.
GW hosted three in-person and nine virtual GW Late Night events, engaging 148 students. These events included meditative yoga sessions, movie nights, a virtual house party, and more!
Students identified on-campus residence as their most common drinking location.
Students identified "having a good time with friends" as their primary reasons to choose to drink.
Students identified Fridays and Saturdays as days of the week when most alcohol was consumed.
