• Social Norms Campaign Targets College Community
  "Most Students Do PartySafe@Cal" is a new component of the programs to reduce harm associated with drinking and parties around the campus area. It aims to correct student misperceptions of the norms of student drinking and associated harm which can have strong and predictive influence on their drinking behavior. More information at

• Respect Campaign Puts Its Message into Movies
  Sponsored by the Student Leadership Committee, the RESPECT Campaign is designed to send peer-to-peer messages to Cal students on the topics of (1) Reducing late night noise, (2) responsible drinking and hosting, (3) curbing littering and dumping, and (4) neighborhood safety. A poster contest was launched in Fall 2007, which resulted in the first prize-winning poster on the topic of littering and dumping. Currently, a series of video clips are being produced which will send messages through a variety of media, including CalTB, YouTube, and Facebook.
