The second peer presentation I saw was on the dangers of substance abuse. This presentation was interesting in that it covered substance abuse in colleges. The group began by explaining what substance abuse is and how present it is on college campuses. The presenters than spoke about the most prevalent form of substance abuse that was on college campuses, alcohol abuse. The presenters spoke of how dangerous alcohol can be and how it can affect students socially and educationally. They said how some students can only socialize if they are under the influence of alcohol and how dangerous that is because alcohol, when consumed in large amounts, is extremely dangerous. They then continued and said how it can affect student’s grades because students become dependent on alcohol and either go to class drunk or don’t go at all, which both are detrimental to student’s grade point averages. After this the presenters had us raise our hands if we agreed to certain statements. I was surprised at all of the responses to all of the questions and it was extremely enlightening on the dangers of alcohol abuse. I feel that this presentation was extremely informative and important to college students because new college students have not been away from their parents for too long, and without their parents to keep an eye on them, some students decide to cut loose and they may begin to abuse different dangerous substances. This group was very well spoken and used note cards and their visual aids well to keep the presentation interesting, and clear.
