Alcohol Abuse and Laws
This program will provide information on City of Oshkosh ordinances, University regulations and Wisconsin laws dealing with the use, possession and consumption of alcohol. Participants will also be given information on the use/abuse of alcohol within the University community, including house parties.
Domestic Abuse

Fire Safety

Mock Party Bust
This program will provide the same information as the Alcohol Abuse and Laws Program, but is done with officers to the residence hall and acting out a party bust.
