North Dakota State University President’s Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs will hold a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center, 1241 N. University Drive, Fargo. Members of the community are encouraged to attend. 

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the issue of high-risk drinking and related consequences with community stakeholders, campus leaders and elected officials. The facilitated discussion will include an overview of the problems associated with high-risk drinking in North Dakota and discussion of possible solutions to curb this problem. 

The council also will share milestones and gather feedback on its strategic plan. “The Town Hall Meeting is a chance for us to reconnect with our community stakeholders – both on and off campus – to talk about the council’s initiatives and possible solutions to the problem of high-risk alcohol use,” said Laura Oster-Aaland, chair of the council. 

The meeting is sponsored by NDSU with funding provided by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
