Publications & Presentations
Staff of the NU Directions Coalition produce a variety of publications and presentations as they share lessons learned from their work in Lincoln, Nebraska at conferences across the United States. We hope you find these materials helpful in your own prevention work or as a resource when studying the issue of college high-risk drinking prevention.
