| Too
often, we spend time "re-creating the wheel" in developing our programs.
If anything has been developed in the years since NCAAW was started,
it is that there are now a wide variety of educational materials and
promotional efforts to support campus campaigns. For example, The
BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network has a very comprehensive
set of educational pamphlets, posters, booklet and videos all targeted
specifically for the collegiate audience. And, this is just the beginning. |
