SNAP, the Student Network for Abuse Prevention, is an organization of students educating peers about alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse. We do no tell students not to drink. Rather, we promote harm reduction and work to decrease high-risk behaviors and consequences associated with alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse among University of Minnesota students.

SNAP members educate students in fun and interactive ways through tabling, coordinating events for national campaigns, and presenting our interactive alcohol education program
“be-WISE-er” to residence halls, Greek houses, and other organizations. (Click here for a more detailed program description about SNAP.)

If you would like more information about SNAP please send us an e-mail at snap@umn.edu.
We welcome questions, and we're always looking for new members!

Our mission is to prevent abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs among the University of Minnesota student population. The goals of SNAP are to:

• Work to create a health-promoting student culture and surrounding environment.
  
  
• Utilize a comprehensive prevention approach including education, social marketing campaigns, policy and advocacy efforts.
  
  
• Support the University of Minnesota students’ efforts in making safe and healthy choices concerning alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
  
  
• Reduce harm and negative effects associated with overuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs by the University of Minnesota student population.
