<p>As I write this, my D is sitting and doing the online alcohol-ed program. She’s complaining about how long it is. S did one for his LAC 3 years ago, I think it took a total of 1/2 hour. D said the first section of Elon’s program took an hour, and it has 4 sections.</p>
<p>The parts that struck me about Elon’s alcohol plan were these two: first, they want to be sure there is no mixed message about the college’s view on underaged and excessive drinking. Second, there is a significant attempt to create alternative programming, and create places for students to go and mingle in a casual way that is alcohol free. I think both are important.</p>
