Furman's Drinking Data
In an effort to assess the nature, scope, and consequences of alcohol and other drug use on Furman's campus, the Division of Student Life collects data each fall semester by administering the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey. This survey was created in 1989 and expanded in 1994 by the Core Institute at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
