The 13 Goals of the NU Directions campus-community coalition

In the fall of 1998, over seventy members of the university and Lincoln community met to develop a strategic plan that would reduce high-risk drinking among NU students.  Four workgroups -- Social Environment, Education & Information, Policy & Enforcement, and Neighborhood Relations created a strategic plan with 13 goals and 60 objectives.  To read the specific objectives under each goal, simply click on the goal.
