    CROSSROADS Mission Statement
    CROSSROADS, Substance Abuse Prevention and Education Programs, is dedicated to
    the advancement of thoughtful and healthy decision-making regarding the use of alcohol,
    tobacco and other drugs. We believe that an engaged learner has the ability to make
    thoughtful decisions through access to the most current information available & a critical
    examination of beliefs and cultural expectations about substances in our lives.
    CROSSROADS encourages legal accountability and personal responsibility in all
    choices involving alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. We believe that the availability and
    utilization of early intervention services is essential to support students, as well as
    services for recovering and impacted students. CROSSROADS aims to encourage,
    support, and be integral in the creation of an environment that encourages healthy
    behaviors through positive social norms, academic engagement & responsibility, a
    vibrant co-curricular life, and consistent enforcement of campus and community
    policies. CROSSROADS recognizes that engagement with the Wilmington community
    on all of these levels is essential in achieving our goals as a campus and fulfilling our
    mission as a university. CROSSROADS PROGRAMMING DIRECTIONS
