Collaborative Efforts
21st Birthday Program
Is someone you know turning 21? University of Florida students turning 21 will receive an e-mail from the Dean of Students within one week of their 21st Birthday encouraging safe and responsible celebration of their 21st birthday.
Designated Driver Program
UF in collaboration with local bars and restaurants developed this program in order to help UF students make responsible choices about drinking. Business cards were developed for the designated driver to show at participating establishments and receive free sodas throughout the evening. You can pick up a card in the GatorWell office, or download one to print out.
Participating establishments should display a Designated Driver Program poster bearing the DDP logo. If your favorite restaurant or bar is not on the list, please encourage the manager/owner to join. The campus chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) is also working to increase establishment participation.
