CARE Organizations

CPElogowebusable.jpgCertified Peer Educators (CPE) The mission of Certified Peer Educators (CPE) is to educate the Baldwin-Wallace College community on issues relating to sex, drugs, alcohol, and other health-related issues. In addition, CPE helps the college community develop communication skills through the BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education training program. Members are trained in an educational eight-hour course designed to empower students to educate, confront, listen to and help their peers make healthy lifestyle choices. CPE members are also trained to go to Freshman Experience classes (COL 101), residence halls, and Greek organizations to present information and games on alcohol, drugs and sexual relationships. 

hpgbcolorwebusable.jpgHealth Promotions Grant Board (HPGB) funds or partially funds activities/events that promote wellness and healthy living and are concurrent with Baldwin-Wallace College policies. Money can be used for programs, events, or activiites that discourage the use of alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, address alcohol or drug abuse, promote safer sexual behavior, address sexual health issues, encourage the well-being of B-W students including mental health, fitness, nutrition, and safety, and/or provide a non-alcoholic social alternative. No previous experience is necessary but students must be in good standing with the college and be committed to living a responsible and healthy lifestyle. Meetings are every other week and last one hour.

0-1-3

All CARE Organizations support the 0-1-3 policy for responsible drinking:  0=ZERO drinks if under 21, driving, chemically dependent, or on medication; 1=ONE drink an hour if male and over 21 (12 oz. beer, 4 oz. glass of wine, one shot of liquor); for women ONE drink every 1.5 hours if over 21 due to differences in alcohol absorption rates; 3= No more than THREE drinks per day, and/or drink no more than THREE times a week that you drink.

Organizations that support the CARE Mission:

GAMMA2Logocopy.jpg

Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol (GAMMA) seeks to assist the Greek community of Baldwin-Wallace College in developing a high level of risk management and healthy lifestyles. Further, GAMMA tries to educate the Greek community about the effects of alcohol and other substance abuses through informative programming, risk management standards, and other means that seek to educate fraternities or sororities on being responsible individuals and chapters. GAMMA is responsible for planning events such as non-alcoholic socials, workshops on responsible behavior, and special events that address critical issues on the B-W campus. Members must be affiliated with one of the Greek organizations on B-W's campus. GAMMA is not a CARE organization but works closely with our office.

mnmbluelogoforweb.jpgMid-Night Madness (MNM) plans a weekly non-alcoholic social alternative event held every Thursday night. Each week a student staff plans a variety of events and provides free food, entertainment and prizes for the participants. MNM is a great place to hang out on Thursday evenings, relax, and meet other B-W students. To be a MNM staff member, students must be in good standing, committed to living a responsible lifestyle, have at least a 2.3 GPA and be registered for at least 12 credit hours. Membership is limited to 19 members and each must be at least a second semester first-year student to apply. An individual may not apply for membership with this organization if he or she is applying for CPE membership.
