Cmc Initiative Inc

CMC INITIATIVE'S GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE DOWNTOWN COLLEGE DRINKING SCENE AND TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS TRAPPED IN ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES BY PROVIDING ALCOHOL AND DRUG FREE EVENTS & SUPPORT ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CORE EVENTS-OUR CORE EVENTS ARE ALCOHOL AND DRUG-FREE, OCCURING 10-20 TIMES EACH FALL AND SPRING COLLEGE SEMESTER. ATTENDANCE TYPICALLY RANGES FROM 50-750 STUDENTS. THE GOAL OF THE CORE EVENT IS TO FOSTER ALCOHOL AND DRUG PREVENTION INITIATIVES ACROSS THE CAMPUSES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, AUBURN UNIVERSITY, ALABAMA UNIVERSITY, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE. OUR MISSION REVOLVES AROUND CULTIVATING POSITIVE, HEALTH-CONSCIOUS ENVIRONMENTS WHILE NURTURING A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS. OUR IMPACT IS TANGIBLE: ATTENDEES FIND THEMSELVES ELEVATING THEIR PERSONAL STANDARDS AFTER EXPERIENCING OUR EVENTS FIRSTHAND. NOTABLY, FRESHMEN AND OTHER STUDENTS GAIN CLARITY ON THEIR CHOICES, REALIZING THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO ABSTAIN FROM THE PRESSURES OF COLLEGE PARTY CULTURE. IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, PEER PRESSURE DISSIPATES, LEAVING NO ROOM FOR REGRET AND OFFERING A REFRESHING ALTERNATIVE TO THE TYPICAL COLLEGE SOCIAL SCENE.

GENERAL MEMBER EVENTS AND RETREATS-EVERY WEEK, OUR CAMPUS MEMBERS SET ASIDE A DAY FOR REJUVENATION, REFLECTION, COMMUNAL DINING, AND DIALOGUE. THIS TIME ALLOWS US TO CELEBRATE VICTORIES FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK'S EVENTS AND STRATEGIZE FOR THE WEEKS AHEAD. ADDITIONALLY, TWICE A YEAR, WE COME TOGETHER FOR IMMERSIVE RETREATS, OFFERING A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE SEMESTER'S ACTIVITIES, MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS ON OUR MISSION AND GOALS, AND FOSTERING A DEEPER SENSE OF UNITY AND FRIENDSHIP AMONG OUR MEMBERS.
